Cost Breakdown Rules

Data on the page may be delayed for 24 hours.

• For pay-per-use resources: The daily cost is calculated based on usage.
  1. If the expiration time and transaction time of a pay-per-use resource are in the same billing cycle, the cost is amortized based on the expiration date.

     Example: The expenditure time of a customer's pay-per-use resource is from 2020/06/10 23:00:00 to 2020/06/10 23:59:59, the transaction time is 2020/06/11 00:53:30, and the amount due is ¥2.

     Breakdown: Since the expiration time (2020/06/10 23:59:59) and transaction time (2020/06/11 00:53:30) are in the same billing cycle (2020/06), the ¥2 is the amortized cost of 2020/06/10.

  2. If the expiration time and transaction time of a pay-per-use resource are not in the same billing cycle, the cost is amortized based on the transaction date.

     Example: The expenditure time of a customer's pay-per-use resource is from 2020/06/30 23:00:00 to 2020/06/30 23:59:59, the transaction time is 2020/07/01 00:53:30, and the amount due is ¥2.

     Breakdown: Since the expiration time (2020/06/30 23:59:59) and transaction time (2020/07/01 00:53:30) are not in the same billing cycle, the ¥2 is the amortized cost of 2020/07/01.

• For yearly/monthly products:
  

  From 2020-08-01 00:00:00, for any new expenditures, the cost is amortized based on the following rules:

  • Amortized daily cost = Order amount/Number of total valid days.
  • If the resources in an order are not enabled successfully, no cost amortization is needed.
  • If the period from the order effective time to the expiration time is less than one day, the cost does not need to be amortized and will be directly included in the cost of the expiration date.
  • Order subscription: When you unsubscribe from or downgrade an order, Amortized daily cost = Order subscription fee/Number of total valid days. If the order has already been in effect, the historical amortized amount is counted into the operation day and the amount in the future days will be amortized normally.

    Example: You subscribe to a yearly/monthly product to which five-day unconditional full refund applies for a month (from 1st to 30th) at a price of ¥60, and the amortized daily cost is ¥2. However, you unsubscribe from the product on the 3rd day for ¥60.

    Breakdown: Since the amount amortized on the 1st and 2nd days (¥2 daily) cannot be changed, the unsubscription fee can only be counted into the operation day. That is, ¥6 is returned on the 3rd day and ¥2 is returned each day from the 4th to the 30th days.

    Order Line	Amortized on the 1st Day	Amortized on the 2nd Day	Amortized on the 3rd Day	Amortized on the 4th Day	Amortized on the 5th Day	Amortized on the 6th Day	......	Amortized on the 30th Day
    New purchase	2	2	2	2	2	2	......	2
    5-day unconditional unsubscription	-	-	-6	-2	-2	-2	......	-2

  • Bill adjustment: The amortized cost in the past will not change due to bill adjustments (including positive adjustments and negative adjustments). Involved historical amortized amount is counted into the operation day.

    Example: You subscribed to a yearly/monthly product for a month (from 1st to 30th) at a price of ¥60, and the amortized daily cost is ¥2. On the 3rd day, an error is found and HUAWEI CLOUD needs to return the order amount of ¥60 and charge a fee of ¥66 again.

    Breakdown: Since the amount that has been amortized on the 1st and 2nd days (¥2 daily) cannot be changed, the adjusted amount can only be counted into the operation day. That is, HUAWEI CLOUD returns an amount of ¥6 for this product and charges another fee of ¥6.6. The amortized amount in the future days remains unchanged. That is, from the 4th to the 30th days, ¥2 is returned and ¥2.2 is charged each day.

    Order Line	Amortized on the 1st Day	Amortized on the 2nd Day	Amortized on the 3rd Day	Amortized on the 4th Day	Amortized on the 5th Day	Amortized on the 6th Day	......	Amortized on the 30th Day
    New purchase	2	2	2	2	2	2	......	2
    Account adjustment - refund	-	-	-6	-2	-2	-2	......	-2
    Account adjustment - payment	-	-	6.6	2.2	2.2	2.2	......	2.2
