Do we need to close/suspend built-in AI voices (Ava, Andrew, Emma, Brian, etc) after using them to create a file in Audio Content Creation?

Hello,

I understand that Custom Neural Voices need to be suspended after use due to their per-hour pricing.

Do we also need to suspend anything after using Microsoft's built-in AI voices? I couldn't find specific information on this and want to avoid any unexpected charges.

Thank you in advance!

    @PAVAGEAU Perrine If you are using the voices from speech studio Audio content creation screen, the voice usage is billed only when you fire a request i.e TTS request for which the voice is generated on the number of characters that are synthesized. You need not close or suspend any resource if you do not use them. The usage is based on the number of characters whenever a request is posted to the service or endpoint. See the TTS FAQ for more details. I hope this helps!!
