Hello Hovick, updateCriteria() takes an array of Criterion objects as its parameter. You are charged 3 API units for per item being updated. So if you pass in an array of 10 Criterion objects, for instance, you'd be charged 10 x 3 = 30 API units. There are no discounts for passing in larger arrays; it's a flat fee of 3 API units per item.
API units are priced at 0.25USD per 1000 units, or your local currency's equivalent.
