+Users of your Actor are charged one event for each GB of memory used by the Actor (at least one event per run). We _strongly_ suggest setting the price of this event to $0.0001 to remain competitive in the Store and attractive for your customers. If you define this event, you also save 5 seconds of Actor runtime from each Actor run, which won't be deducted from your payout profits.

+#### Synthetic start event for Actors with start event
 
-Actors can migrate between servers during execution, which restarts the process and clears memory. When using PPE pricing model, avoid charging the start event multiple times after a migration by checking your charging state.
+Your Actor might already have a start event defined, such as `actor-start` or another variant of the event name. In this case, you can choose whether to use the synthetic start event or keep the existing start event.

+If you want to use the synthetic start event, remove the existing start event from your Actor and add the synthetic start event in Apify Console.
