Pay-per-Use Billing

Updated on 2023-11-29 GMT+08:00

Application Scenarios

Pay-per-use billing is good for short-term, bursty, or unpredictable workloads that cannot tolerate any interruptions, such as applications for e-commerce flash sales, temporary testing, and scientific computing.

Billed Items

Service mesh scale (maximum number of pods managed by a service mesh)

Billed Usage Period

The usage of pay-per-use resources is calculated by the second but billed every hour. The billing starts when a service mesh is created and ends when the service mesh is deleted.

NOTE:
  • You will be billed for a pay-per-use service mesh of the Enterprise edition immediately after you purchase it. It takes some time to create a service mesh. The billing starts from the time when the service mesh was successfully created.
  • A pay-per-use service mesh of the Enterprise edition that manages 20 pods or less is billed for 20 pods. If the service mesh manages more than 20 pods, it is billed according to the actual number of managed pods.

For example, if you purchased a pay-per-use service mesh at 8:45:30 and deleted it at 8:55:30, you are billed for the 600 seconds from 8:45:30 to 8:55:30.

Impact of Arrears

Figure 1 shows the statuses a pay-per-use service mesh can have throughout its lifecycle. After a service mesh is purchased, it enters the valid period and runs normally during this period. If your account goes into arrears, the service mesh enters a grace period and then a retention period.

Arrears Reminder

The system will bill you for pay-per-use resources after each billing cycle ends. If your account goes into arrears, we will notify you by email, SMS, or in-app message.

Impact of Arrears

If your account is insufficient to pay your amount due, your account goes into arrears, and the pay-per-use service mesh enters a grace period. After you top up your account, Huawei Cloud will bill you for expenditures generated by the service mesh during the grace period. You can view the expenditures on the Overview page of Billing Center.

If your account is still in arrears after the grace period ends, the service mesh enters a retention period and turns to Frozen. You cannot perform any operations on the service mesh.

If you do not bring your account balance current before the retention period ends, the service mesh resources will be released and the data cannot be restored.
