paid in full

Paid in full is the status of an invoice whose total amount due has been completely paid, so that no money is still owed on it.

In plain English

This means the bill has been completely settled. All of the amount that was due has been paid, so nothing remains unpaid on that invoice.

In context

Here, "paid in full" classifies the bill as having no unpaid amount left because the whole amount due has been paid.
