Pay Per Event Pricing Issue

Currently we just launched an AI actor which uses AI to provide the result and use the “pay per event” model. Our output is always 1 event only which we want for example to charge $5. The problem is that when users see the pricing model, it shows on app listing pay as $5,000/1,000 results but users only need 1 event/1 output and should see pricing as $5. This makes it hard for them to try it out due to the mistakingly high number. In the documentation in https://help.apify.com/en/articles/10700066-what-is-pay-per-event AND https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event there are screenshots that DO NOT show the $price/1,000 . Is it possible to remove so we can create more AI apps which just need 1 event for output/results?

@Nazar Hrozia i did see that one of my apps updated pricing correctly to "one time events" 🙂 but i still have 3 more that have not updated. also i have more in development that i want to launch but want to wait to know how to solve before launching. appreciate any insight. thanks!

@oss It’s likely related to caching on Apify side — sometimes these changes take a bit of time to fully propagate. If it doesn’t update after a while, feel free to let me know here. Thank you🙂

not sure what you mean? can you explain more? (apple side?) (after awhile - 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, etc?)

thanks looks like it's resolved now. not sure if it will work for new future release apps. hopefully somebody knows?
