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
Cloud Live transcoding: billed by hour and deducted in real time (subject to the system)
MediaLive transcoding: billed by hour and deducted in real time (subject to the system) under pay-per-use billing; billed by the subscription term of the order but free of charge during the validity period of a package under yearly/monthly billing
Cloud Live recording: billed by month and deducted in real time (subject to the system)
Cloud Live snapshot capturing: billed by day and deducted in real time (subject to the system)
Example: If traffic-based billing is used, the fee generated from 08:00 to 09:00 is deducted at about 13:00.
