Hi Niaz,
As a freelancer, you are charged a service fee based on your lifetime billings with each non-Enterprise client. You can check out this help article for more information about the freelancer service fees.
For the contract on which you were charged a 10% fee, I checked and you already passed the first threshold with that client, and the 10% fee was applied correctly. All future contracts with that same client will continue to have a 10% fee until you pass the $10,000 threshold. However, on the other contracts with other clients, the service fee will remain 20% until you pass the $500 threshold.
Thank you.
