📖What it means
A paid door to a vendor — an account with an allowance the estate draws down. A subscription is where money physically leaves; it is never what a limit is written against, because the same subscription serves many unrelated lines of work.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Provider
The provider is the company; the subscription is the specific account with it.
Not: Track
A subscription is a payment door; a track is a line of work. Caps name tracks, never subscriptions.
Not: Lane
A lane is an execution route; it happens to map onto a subscription, which is why choosing a lane chooses a cost.
