That's not really "in arrears" then is it? You would expect them to DD
the exact amount owed at the end of the month such that you start the
next month with a balance of zero.

Of course it's in arrears. He's paying after he used it.

By the sounds of it, he is paying either some of it, or all of it and
some of next months.

I took "bring it into balance" to mean zero after the day he paid.

The "adjust the monthly payment up and down occasionally to bring it
into balance" seems incongruous in which case. They would need to adjust
it every month to match what is owed and there would be no possibility
of over payment. The balance would always be from zero to a negative
amount.

Ah yes. It seems he's doing what I do. My account seems to be always in the red.
