  • Pay-per-use: You are charged from the time when CFW is enabled to the time when CFW is disabled. If you enable the pay-per-use billing mode, you are billed for the number of protected IP addresses, peak traffic, and number of VPCs.

Renewal

  • After your yearly/monthly edition expires, there is a retention period for you.

    This period varies depending on your account. For details, see Retention Period.
