Package Billing

Package

DLI offers discounted resource packages that are billed based on the type of package purchased.

These packages are pre-purchased quotas of resource usage for users. If the current package quota is exceeded, the excess usage will be automatically billed on a pay-per-use basis.

Package Types and Use Cases

• Reset by subscription period: For example, if the reset period is monthly and you purchase a package on January 5, the included free resources will reset on the fifth day of each month.
• Reset by calendar period: For example, if you purchase a package and the reset period is monthly, the included free resources will reset at 00:00:00 on the first day of each month.
• In DLI packages, only the storage package follows a natural cycle, meaning it resets hourly. Other packages reset based on the subscription period, which means they reset monthly.

Notes and Constraints

• Packages cannot be refunded once purchased.
• Packages are bound to specific regions and can only be used in the region they are bound to, not in other regions.
• When billing, resources from the package are used first. Once the package's resources are exhausted, any excess usage is billed on a pay-per-use basis.
• After a package expires, resources will not be automatically disabled and will continue to be used on a pay-per-use basis.

Billing Examples

The prices are just examples. The actual prices are those displayed on DLI Pricing Details.

Suppose user A purchases a 4,000-CUH package with a validity of one month. Before the package is used up, any CUHs used by user A's compute resources will be deducted from the package.

For more examples, see DLI Pricing Details.

Impact of Arrears

Figure 1 shows the statuses a pay-per-use DLI queue can have throughout its lifecycle. Once you purchase a DLI queue, it will be considered valid during the billing cycle as long as it operates normally. However, if your account exceeds the expenditure quota, the queue will gradually enter the grace period and retention period.

Arrears Reminder

The system deducts fees from your account balance for pay-per-use resources at the end of each billing cycle. You will be notified by email, SMS, or internal messages when your account exceeds the expenditure quota.

Impact of Arrears

Your resources enter the grace period and you cannot submit jobs in DLI, including SQL, Spark, and Flink jobs. You will need to pay for the fees incurred during the grace period, which you can see on the Billing & Costs > Billing Center > Overview page of the Huawei Cloud console.

If you do not bring your account balance current before the grace period expires, your resources will enter the retention period and become frozen. You cannot perform any operations on the pay-per-use resources during this period.

If you do not bring your account balance current before the retention period ends, your resource will be released and the data cannot be restored.

For details about expenditure quotas, see Expenditure Quota.

Combination of Pay-per-Use and Package

DLI allows you to use package and pay-per-use together.

If you purchase a package, the quota included in the package is preferentially deducted when you use resources. If you exceed the package limit, you will be billed on a pay-per-use basis.

For details about pay-per-use billing, see Elastic Resource Pools, Billing for Storage Resources, and Billing for Scanned Data.
