Bills
You can view the resource usage and bills for a different billing cycles on the Bills page in the Billing Center.
Billing Generation
- Yearly/Monthly: Transaction records for yearly/monthly subscriptions are generated immediately after being paid for.
- Pay-per-use: A pay-per-use resource is billed by the hour, day, or month, depending on the resource's usage type. The usages of global connection bandwidths and connections between enterprise routers are billed by the hour. For details, see Bill Run for Pay-per-Use Resources.
You are not charged immediately after a record is generated. For example, if a pay-per-use global connection bandwidth billed on an hourly basis is deleted at 08:30, you will still have expenditures for the 08:00 to 09:00 hour. However, but you will not likely be billed for the 08:00 to 09:00 hour until about 10:00. In the Billing Center, choose Billing > Expenditure Items in the left navigation pane, Expenditure Time in the bill indicates the time when the pay-per-use or spot pricing resource is used.
Viewing Bills of a Specific Resource
- Log in to the management console and choose Networking > Cloud Connect.
The Cloud Connect page is displayed.
- In the navigation pane on the left, choose Cloud Connect > Bandwidth Packages.
- Click the icon shown in the figure below to copy the resource ID.
Figure 1 Copying the resource ID
- On the top menu bar, choose Billing & Costs > Bills.
The Bills page is displayed.
- Choose Billing > Expenditure Details in the left navigation pane. Select Resource ID as the filter criteria, enter the resource ID obtained in 3, and click the
icon.
Figure 2 Searching for a billBy default, the bill details are displayed by usage and billing cycle. You can choose other display options as required. For details, see Bills.
Checking the Consistency of the Actual Usage and Billed Usage
Assume that you purchased a 150-Mbit/s global connection bandwidth (billed by fixed bandwidth) at 08:23:10 on April 18, 2023 and deleted the bandwidth at 09:23:10 on April 18, 2023.
- Global connection bandwidth transaction records
The usage of pay-per-use global connection bandwidths is calculated by the second and billed on an hourly basis. You can check the expenditure items against the actual usage. For details, see Table 1.

Pay-per-use
Expenditure Time
For the period of time from 08:23:10 to 09:23:10 on April 18, 2023, two transaction records would be generated for the resource usage in the following periods:
- From 08:23:10 to 09:00:00
- From 09:00:00 to 09:23:10
List Price
List price on the official website = Unit price x Usage
In this example, the bandwidth was used for 2,210 seconds in the first period, and the unit price was $0.1 USD/Mbit/s per hour. The list price is calculated as follows: (2,210 ÷ 3,600) x $0.1 USD x 150 = $9.2083 USD Similarly, you can calculate the list price for the other usage period.
Discounted Amount
Discounts offered for cloud services, for example, commercial discounts, partner authorized discounts, and promotional discounts. It is the discounted amount based on the list price.
Truncated Amount
Huawei Cloud billing is calculated to the 8th decimal place. However, the amount due is truncated to the 2nd decimal place. The third and later decimal places are referred to as the truncated amounts.
Take the first period as an example. The truncated amount is $0.0083 USD.
Amount Due
Amount due = List price – Discounted amount – Truncated amount
Take the first usage period as an example. If the discounted amount is 0, the amount due is $9.20 USD ($9.2083 USD – $0 USD – $0.0083 USD).
- Global connection bandwidth bill details
Expenditure details can be displayed in multiple ways. By default, the bill details of a resource are displayed by usage and by billing cycle. Table 2 illustrates the bill details, which can be used to check against the actual usage.

Unit Price
When pay-per-use billing is used, the unit price is only provided if the amount is equal to the usage multiplied by the unit price.
Global connection bandwidths support only pay-per-use billing.
Unit
Unit price: $xx.xx USD/Mbit/s per hour
Usage
Global connection bandwidth usage is billed by the hour. In this example, the global connection bandwidth was used for 1 hour.
Usage Unit
Hour
List Price
List price on the official website = Unit price x Usage
The bandwidth was used for 1 hour, and the unit price is $0.1 USD/Mbit/s per hour. Official website price = $0.1 USD x 150 = $15 USD
Similarly, you can calculate the list price for the other usage period.
Discounted Amount
Discounts offered for cloud services, for example, commercial discounts, partner authorized discounts, and promotional discounts. It is the discounted amount based on the list price.
Amount Due
Amount that should be paid for used cloud services after discounts are applied.
