Querying Cost Data

Function

This API is used to query the cost data on the self-built platform.

Original costs: There is an appropriately one-hour delay before data from Billing Center shows up as original costs for the current month on the platform. To view the exact amounts, see the final bill that will be generated on the 3rd day of the following month. The original costs are available for viewing after 12:00 noon on the 4th day of the following month.
Amortized costs: They are not calculated in real time. Your amortized costs are refreshed once every 24 hours, and it may take longer than 24 to 48 hours for some data to be displayed. The current month costs of monthly-settlement cloud services, such as CDN and VPC, are available for viewing after 12:00 noon on the 4th day of the following month.

Note:

This API can be invoked using the customer AK/SK or token.

The data of the previous month is available after the bill is generated.
