Hey Miguel, thanks for reporting.
The most likely cause for a volume to not have a billing item (causing this key failure) its because the billing item has already been cancelled (either immediate or in a future date).
That being said, this needs to be handled gracefully for sure, but wanted to share the most common cause for 'missing' billing item on a volume.

This will be fixed in the next release.
