Usually when CPU usage is metered it is metered by the number of CPU cycles that were used to execute an application for you. IBM actually proposed a virtual server solution which used cycle metering to charge their clients, an innovative... but not very widely accepted solution.

Of course I am sure there are otherways to measure CPU usage...
