I've have had some experience in billing systems and RRD files.  There
is too much rounding going on in RRD for it to be accurate for billing.
Of course for capacity planning you could use it.

Billing should be 1-5% error, capacity planning can have 10% or more.

It sounds however that you have found some specific error, or are you
comparing it to some other collector?
