As per our village lawyer and accountant ...

    Assuming

        95th percentile billing, sampling every 5 minutes.

    You'll need about 1.5days worth of 0 (~447 samples missing in a row) to bork the curve...  and it goes the bith ways.

    If you're 5Gbps committed on a 10Gbps and you burst 10Gbs for 1.6 days, you pay for 10Gbps for that month.

    And yes that include the best effort to manage DDoS from both part.  We're capitalist, but no one is from big pharma =D.

From my provider days if you miss data you can't bill it or assume zero.

I can say that missing samples weren’t back filled when we billed. Never had any complaints.

Can anyone shed light on how ISPs handle missing samples when calculating p95s for monthly billing cycles? Do they fill null samples with zeros or leave them as null? 

I’m working on a billing sanity tool and want to make sure to cover my corner cases well. 

Thanks!
