Querying Bills

You can query bills of Live by following Viewing Bills of a Specific Account and Viewing Bills of a Specified Enterprise Project.

Viewing Bills of a Specific Account

Live is billed by project. Bills cannot be queried by resource (domain name).

The resource ID in a Live bill is in the following format: Project ID + Billing specifications. Project ID is generated by project.

Project IDs are generated based on accounts and Huawei Cloud origin servers. The query method is as follows:

  1. Log in to the Live console.
  2. Move the cursor to the username in the upper right corner of the page and select My Credentials from the drop-down list.

    The My Credentials > API Credentials page is displayed, as shown in Figure 1.

    Figure 1 Projects

The resource ID is used only for billing. The resource ID information cannot be queried on the Live console.

Table 1 describes the mapping between resource IDs and billing product types in Live bills.

  • The project IDs of different resource IDs in a project are the same.
  • The resource IDs of the bandwidth and traffic billing modes are the same. Therefore, the two billing modes cannot be identified by resource ID.

Viewing Bills of a Specified Enterprise Project

If you configured an enterprise project when adding a domain name, bills are split by enterprise project.

Currently, the following bills can be split by enterprise:

  • Traffic-billed Live CDN bills
  • Cloud Live snapshot capturing bills
  • Cloud Live transcoding bills

Live CDN bills by daily peak bandwidth and 95th percentile bandwidth are still generated by project, as shown in Viewing Bills of a Specific Account.

To query Live bills by enterprise project, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the console. On the top menu bar, choose Billing > Bills.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Billing > Expenditure Details.
  3. Select the following items in the filter criteria, and click to search for bills of a specified enterprise project.

    • Enterprise Project: Non-project indicates that the current bill does not belong to any enterprise project. Default indicates the default enterprise project. Select an enterprise project name as required.
    • Service Type: Select Live.

    By default, the bill details are displayed by usage and billing cycle. You can choose other display options as required. For details, see Bills.
