Bills

You can view the resource usage and bills for different billing cycles on the Billing page in the Billing Center.

Bill Generation

Transaction records for yearly/monthly subscriptions are generated immediately after being paid for.

A pay-per-use DB instance is billed by the hour, day, or month, depending on the instance's usage type. The DB instance usage is billed by the hour. For details, see Bill Run for Pay-per-Use Resources.

You are not charged immediately after a record is generated. For example, if a pay-per-use DB instance (which is billed on an hourly basis) is deleted at 08:30, you will still have expenditures for the 08:00 to 09:00 hour. However, but you will not likely be billed for the 08:00 to 09:00 hour until about 10:00.
