Summary:                    Billsec is zero although disposition is Answered
Description: 
The call lasts for over 10 seconds, duration is 13 secs, billsec is zero
but disposition is Answered, or "8"
I use cdr_odbc.
This is my code for the "h" extension:
exten => h,1,GotoIf($["${DIALSTATUS}" = "ANSWER" & "${CDR(billsec,l)}" =
"0" ]?label1:label2)
exten => h,n(label1),Set(CDR(amaflags|r)=billing)
exten => h,n(label2),Verbose(1,${HANGUPCAUSE} --DIALSTATUS= ${DIALSTATUS}
Seconds= ${CDR(billsec,l)} AMAFLAGS=${CDR(amaflags)})

The trace goes below

However, you cannot change the CDR once it is ended.  You can get around
this by calculating the "billsec so far" as 1.6 and forward do by default:

$[${EPOCH}-${CDR(answer)}]
