Bills

To learn about the usage and billing information of a DLI resource during a specific period, choose Billing Center > Billing on the management console.

Bill Generation

Transaction records for package subscriptions are generated immediately after being paid for.

The usage of pay-per-use resources is reported to the billing system at a fixed interval. Pay-per-use resources can be settled by hour, day, or month based on usage type. For details, see the billing description of related resources.

DLI's queues, elastic resource pools, data storage, and scanned data volume that are billed on a pay-per-use basis are settled by hour.

The fee deduction time of pay-per-use resources may be later than the settlement period. For example, if a queue (settled by hour) is deleted at 08:30:00, the fees generated during 08:00:00 to 09:00:00 are usually deducted at around 10:00:00. On the Billing Center, choose Billing > Transactions and Detailed Bills and click the Transaction Bills tab. Expenditure Time indicates the time when a pay-per-use product is used.

Viewing the Bill for a Specified Queue or Elastic Resource Pool

The DLI console does not display the IDs of queues or elastic resource pools. To query bills of DLI queues or elastic resource pools, perform the following steps:
  1. Obtain the resource name from the DLI console.
  2. Choose Resources > My Resources on the top menu to view the resource ID based on the resource name. (The resource name is not unique. You are advised to use the resource name to query the specified resource ID and then view the bill.)
  3. View the resource bills in the Billing Center based on the resource ID.

The procedure is as follows:

  1. Obtain the resource ID.

    1. Log in to the management console and choose Analytics > Data Lake Insight.
    2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Resources > Resource Pool. In the resource pool list, view and record the resource name.
    3. On the DLI's top menu bar, choose Resources > My Resources.

      The My Resources page is displayed.

    4. Enter the instance name obtained in 1.c, and click the icon to search for the resource.

Viewing the Bill for Scanned Data Volume

DLI's default queue is billed based on the scanned data volume. Fees for scanned data volume are calculated as follows: Fees for scanned data volume = Unit price x Scanned data volume (in GB). See How Do I View a Job's Scanned Data Volume?.

You can query the bill for the scanned data volume in the Billing Center.

  1. On the top menu bar, choose Billing & Costs > Bills.
  2. Choose Transactions and Detailed Bills > Bill Details, select DLI scan as the filter criterion, and click to search for the bills for DLI scanned data volume.
    By default, bill details are displayed by usage and billing cycle. However, you can choose different statistical dimensions or periods. For details, see Usage Details.
