DETECTING STORAGE ERRORS IN A DISPERSED STORAGE NETWORK

A method includes determining a root cause for a rebuilding request of an encoded data slice of a set of encoded data slices, where the rebuilding request includes a slice name of the encoded data slice corresponding to a slice error. The method further includes establishing a pricing level as a user pricing level when the root cause is a user-centric root cause, and establishing the pricing level as a non-user pricing level when the root cause is a non-user-centric root cause. The method further includes facilitating the rebuilding of the encoded data slice, and generating billing information for the rebuilding based on the pricing level.
