+.SYNOPSIS
+    Schedules or executes pay-transition operations for Azure and/or Arc.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Depending on parameters, this script either:
+      - Downloads and runs the Azure and/or Arc pay-transition scripts once, or
+      - Registers a Windows Scheduled Task to invoke itself daily at 2 AM.
+
+.PARAMETER Target
+    Which environment(s) to process:
+      - Arc
+      - Azure
+      - Both
+
+.PARAMETER RunMode
+    Whether to run immediately or schedule recurring runs:
+      - Single     : Download & invoke once, then exit.
+      - Scheduled  : Create or update the scheduled task calling this script daily.
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    # Run immediately for both Azure and Arc
+    .\manage-payg-transition.ps1 -Target Both -RunMode Single
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    # Schedule daily runs for Azure only
+    .\manage-payg-transition.ps1 -Target Azure -RunMode Scheduled
