Bills

Huawei Cloud provides bills in different types to reflect your monthly expenditures and resource usage.

Bill Generation Time

Huawei Cloud generates bills on the first to third day of each month. You can obtain the final bill of the current month after 10:00 on the fourth day of the next month. For products settled by month, such as CDN and VPC, you can view the bills of the current month on the third day of the next month. The specific bill generation time depends on the information displayed in the Billing Center. Before the final bill is generated, all bill data is for reference only.

Rules of Calculating the Billing Cycle

A billing cycle is the calendar month when a transaction occurs. Each transaction has its billing cycle. Huawei Cloud summarizes the transactions in a monthly bill based on the billing cycles of the transactions.

Huawei Cloud counts a transaction record in a billing cycle based on its Expenditure time. For details, see How Does Huawei Cloud Calculate the Billing Cycle?.
