+## Timeline for invoicing and payment
+
+At the end of each subscription quarter, GitLab notifies you about overages.
+The date you're notified about the overage is not the same as the date
+you are billed.
+
+### GitLab SaaS
+
+Group owners receive an email **on the reconciliation date**.
+The email communicates the [overage seat quantity](gitlab_com/index.md#seats-owed-example)
+and expected invoice amount.
+
+**Seven days later**, the subscription is updated to include the additional
+seats, and an invoice is generated for a prorated amount. If a credit card
+is on file, a payment is automatically applied. Otherwise, an invoice is
+sent and subject to your terms.
+
+### Self-managed instances
+
+Admins receive an email **six days after the reconciliation date**.
+This email communicates the [overage seat quantity](self_managed/index.md#users-over-license)
+and expected invoice amount.
+
+**Seven days later**, the subscription is updated to include the additional
+seats, and an invoice is generated for a prorated amount. If a credit card
+is on file, a payment is automatically applied. Otherwise, an invoice is
+sent and subject to your payment terms.
