Querying Bills

You can query bills of Live by following Viewing Bills of a Specific Account and Viewing Bills of a Specified Enterprise Project.

Viewing Bills of a Specific Account

Live is billed by project. Bills cannot be queried by resource (domain name). For details about how to view the cost of each domain name, see Cost Management.

The resource ID in a Live bill is in the following format: Project ID + Billing specifications. Project ID is generated by project.

Project IDs are generated based on accounts and Huawei Cloud origin servers. The query method is as follows:

  1. Log in to the Live console.
  2. Move the cursor to the username in the upper right corner of the page and select My Credentials from the drop-down list.

    The My Credentials > API Credentials page is displayed, as shown in Figure 1.

    Figure 1 Projects

The resource ID is used only for billing. The resource ID information cannot be queried on the Live console.

Table 1 describes the mapping between resource IDs and billing product types in Live bills.

  • The project IDs of different resource IDs in a project are the same.
  • The resource IDs of the bandwidth and traffic billing modes are the same. Therefore, the two billing modes cannot be identified by resource ID.

    By default, the bill details are displayed by usage and billing cycle. You can choose other display options as required. For details, see Bills.

Viewing Bills of a Specified Enterprise Project

If you configured an enterprise project when adding a domain name, bills are split by enterprise project.

Currently, the following bills can be split by enterprise:

  • Traffic-billed Live CDN bills
  • Cloud Live snapshot capturing bills
  • Cloud Live transcoding bills, which are charged by MPC.

Live CDN bills by daily peak bandwidth and 95th percentile bandwidth are still generated by project, as shown in Viewing Bills of a Specific Account. To view the cost split of an enterprise project, see Cost Management.

To query Live bills by enterprise project, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the console. On the top menu bar, choose Billing > Bills.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Billing > Expenditure Details.
  3. Select the following items in the filter criteria, and click to search for bills of a specified enterprise project.

    • Enterprise Project: Non-project indicates that the current bill does not belong to any enterprise project. Default indicates the default enterprise project. Select an enterprise project name as required.
    • Service Type: Select Live.

    By default, the bill details are displayed by usage and billing cycle. You can choose other display options as required. For details, see Bills.
