In the next billing run, Emerald will create and auto-pay the invoice
(paying the invoice moves the expire date) if the resulting balance
(ie previous balance + new charges) is less than or equal to 0.

Probably not. Weekly, would be more than suffice in most cases.

Emerald will not create multiple invoices for the same period.
