Bills

Bill Generation

Transaction records for package subscriptions are generated immediately after being paid for.

The usage of pay-per-use resources is reported to the billing system at a fixed interval. Pay-per-use resources can be settled by hour, day, or month based on usage type. For details, see the billing description of related resources.

DLI's queues, elastic resource pools, data storage, and scanned data volume that are billed on a pay-per-use basis are settled by hour.

The fee deduction time of pay-per-use resources may be later than the settlement period. For example, if a queue (settled by hour) is deleted at 08:30, the fees generated during 08:00:00 to 09:00:00 are usually deducted at around 10:00:00. On the Billing Center, choose Billing > Transactions and Detailed Bills and click the Transaction Bills tab. Expenditure Time indicates the time when a pay-per-use product is used.
