Noting daisuke-san's answer above, 従量 indeed makes more sense.
Eijiro cites:
従量式の as【形】volume-limited
and
従量制の方針 as pay-as-you-go policy
従量制プラン as pay-as-you-go plan
and
従量制で as "at a metered rate"
従量制である as "be metered"
従量制の〔回線接続料が〕as 【形】pay-as-you-go〔〈対〉flat rate〕
So I think either any of "volume charging" or "metered billing" or "pay-as-you-go" will suffice to convey the meaning of 従量課金制. |

| Grading comment Thank you, everyone. I truly appreciate daisuke's timely response of a proper rendition of "metered billing (pricing)", or Maynard's for that matter. I think it is one of the best phrasing this. On the other hand, I wondered if it really fits in a presentation form. With re-consideration, I decide to pick up "Pay-as-you-go" as Eijiro shows with a key word 従量制. As to its difference from 重量, I conclude it's a typo in kanji after all. Thank you! -

19 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +2 metered billing [pricing] (system)
Explanation:
metered billing system or metered pricing system
You may not have to say "system".
BTW, "重量課金制" is a typo: it should be "従量課金制”.

1 hr confidence: | 重量課金制 metered billing
Explanation:
The best part about this rendering is that it's purposefully vague as to what is metered: time (telephone call duration) or traffic volume (in packets for cell phones, in megabytes for hosted web sites, etc.)

charging by volumeはいいけど、volume chargingはvolume discount同様、flat rateと誤解されそうなので使って欲しくない。
I don't give a hoot about what KathyT thinks it *should* be in her ideolect. I was warning about how the average North American is able/likely to misread her rendering.
Besides, if "volume charging" is such a valid accounting term, why are Google's top hits from PayCircle (more European and SE Asian than North American), New Zealand, etc., while "metered billing" covers the gamut of water, gas, grid computing, etc.?

I must apologize to KathyT. She lives in Australia, and all I know is that things are different in Strine from my native Northern American dialect, the only audience that counts around this shop.

http://e-words.jp/w/E5BE93E9878FE588B6.html covers both time and volume, but I don't think much of their "measured rate" or "usage based rate"--because I'm too used to "metered," I guess.

Really, KathyT! "I calls 'em as I sees 'em" at Google. If that makes me ignorant and condescending, then Google is in a lot of trouble.
