Billing Cycle
You can view the bill of a resource in the Billing section of Billing Center to learn about its usage and billing information in a certain period.
Bill Reporting Period
Pay-per-use: The usage of pay-per-use resources is reported to the billing system at a fixed interval for settlement. A pay-per-use resource is billed by hour, day, or month, depending on the resource's usage type. For details, see Bill Run for Pay-per-Use Resources.
- Basic service billing
In the traffic-based billing mode, traffic used in an hour will be settled 4 hours later.
In the daily peak bandwidth billing mode, the system settles the bandwidth at about 20:00 (GMT+08:00) the next day.
In the 95th percentile bandwidth billing mode, the system settles the bandwidth at about 20:00 (GMT+08:00) on the first day of the next month.
- Value-added service billing
Stream push to a third-party destination: settlement method same as that of basic service billing
