I have been told by tech support that you do not get charged service credits for data stored in a hosted ArcGIS Online feature service, but a fairly experienced colleague insists emphatically that you do.
It seems to me that there is a charge for this and that tech support is mistaken, but I need to be absolutely sure, because we are making plans and this depends on it.
When I asked about the charge for 'hosting a feature service,' tech-support said that was only when you add a feature service as an item to the ArcGIS Online site via a rest end point, which seems strange as there is no storage associated with referencing a rest end point (is there?).
Can anyone offer clarification on this?
I would very much appreciate it.

Hi Randy,
A hosted feature service means the data is stored in ArcGIS Online and yes there is a small charge. Please see this document for details,
ArcGIS Online | Service Credits
See the table mid-way down the page, look under the Storage section.
Hope this helps,
