Hi,

I understand this, but I think there isn't any option that helps us to
reduce cost while call is in progress.

One option that I was thinking is to check elapsed time by "core show
channel channel-id" and deduct the amount but we need to check it every
second or x seconds via AMI.

Regards,
Zohair Raza
