CCE Autopilot Billing Overview

This topic describes the billing modes, billing items, billing examples, billing mode changes, package renewals, and bills of CCE Autopilot clusters.

  • Billing Modes

    CCE Autopilot supports pay-per-use billing and packages. For details, see Billing Mode Overview.

    • Pay-per-use: You can start using CCE Autopilot resources first and then pay as you go.
    • Packages are a prepaid model where payment is made before usage, and each package is billed by both the resource quota and the purchase period in the order. Before making a purchase, you must ensure that your account balance is sufficient.

      Currently, CCE Autopilot provides vCPU and memory packages required by pods.

    You can also change the billing mode later if it no longer meets your needs. For details, see Changing the Billing Mode.

  • Billing Items

    The billing items of CCE Autopilot clusters include cluster management, pods, VPC endpoints, and other cloud service resources. Billing Items describes the billing factors and formulas of each billing item in detail.

  • Billing Examples

    Billing Examples provides billing examples and the billing for each billing item.

  • Changing the Billing Mode

    You can change the billing mode later if it no longer meets your needs. For details, see Changing the Billing Mode.

  • Package Renewal

    After a package expires, the CCE Autopilot cluster will be billed on a pay-per-use basis and can still run normally. If you want to continue using the package, you need to renew it within the specified period. You can renew the package manually or automatically. For details, see Renewal Overview.

  • Bills

    In Billing Center, choose Billing and check the CCE Autopilot cluster transactions and bills. For details, see Bills.

  • Arrears

    If there is no sufficient account balance to pay for your bill and there is no other payment method configured, your account will go into arrears. If you want to continue using your cloud services, you will need to top up your account in a timely manner. For details, see Arrears.

  • Stopping Billing

    In pay-per-use billing, you can delete a CCE Autopilot cluster that is no longer used to avoid additional expenditures. For details, see Billing Termination.
