Billing Scenario

Assume that a user purchased a pay-per-use Enterprise Edition VPN gateway with the following configuration at 15:30:00 on March 18, 2023:

  • Billing mode: pay-per-use
  • Network type: public network
  • Associated with a VPC
  • Specification: Professional 1
  • Number of VPN connection groups: 10
  • HA mode: active-active
  • Bandwidth of the active EIP: 20 Mbit/s
  • Bandwidth of active EIP 2: 20 Mbit/s
  • Public network bandwidth: billed by bandwidth

The price of billing items is as follows:

  • Gateway:
  • VPN connection group:
  • Bandwidth fee (active EIP + active EIP 2):

The user purchased one VPN connection group at 16:30:00 on March 18, 2023. After a period of time, the user found that the VPN quotas no longer met service requirements, and increased the bandwidth to 30 Mbit/s at 09:00:00 on March 20, 2023. The new bandwidth price is . Since the VPN gateway was intended for long-term use, the user changed the VPN gateway to yearly/monthly billing with a one-month duration at 10:30:00 on March 20, 2023. So how much will the user be billed for this VPN gateway in March and April?

  • Yearly/Monthly usage: 10:30:00 on March 20, 2023 to 23:59:59 on April 20, 2023

From March to April, the total price of the VPN gateway is .
