Billing Items
Huawei Cloud CDN billing includes a basic service fee and additional fee for value-added services.
- The basic service fee is charged based on traffic or bandwidth generated when users access CDN points of presence (PoPs).
- The value-added service fee is charged based on the number of whole site acceleration requests.

Basic service fee |
Traffic |
You are billed by the traffic used per hour. You can also buy traffic packages to deduct traffic used. |
|
Peak bandwidth |
The system measures and records a peak bandwidth every 5 minutes, so 288 records are collected per day. The highest peak bandwidth per day is used as the billable bandwidth. |
||
95th percentile bandwidth |
In each calendar month, the peak bandwidth is measured and recorded every 5 minutes on each valid day. At the end of the month, the records are sorted from the highest to the lowest, and the top 5% of the records are thrown away. Then the highest bandwidth value in the remaining records is the billable bandwidth of the month and a bill is generated based on the contract price. |
||
Average daily peak bandwidth |
At the end of each calendar month, the system calculates the average of peak bandwidth of valid days in this month. The average value is the billable bandwidth of the month and the bill is generated based on the contract price. |
||
Prepaid traffic package |
You can purchase a traffic package that suits your needs. Your traffic package is used first. Traffic consumed beyond the package will be billed on a pay-per-use basis. |
||
Value-added service fee |
Number of whole site acceleration requests |
You are billed by the number of whole site acceleration requests for dynamic and static content. |
- On the Dashboard page and the Analytics page on the CDN console, the logged traffic statistics of acceleration domain names are displayed. These statistics are obtained from logs at the application level. However, the billable traffic (the actual network traffic) is 7% to 15% higher than the displayed statistics on the CDN console because the traffic consumed by TCP/IP packet headers and TCP retransmissions also needs to be counted in. Therefore, the billable traffic will be typically 10% higher than the statistics displayed on the CDN console.
- The change from traffic-based or peak bandwidth-based billing to 95th peak bandwidth or average daily peak bandwidth billing takes effect in the current month. The change from 95th peak bandwidth or average daily peak bandwidth billing to other billing options takes effect on the first day of the next month, and you are billed using the original option until the change takes effect.
- CDN billing is global. All acceleration domain names under an account use the same billing option.
- CDN traffic packages can be used to deduct fees of traffic generated only in the Chinese mainland or outside the Chinese mainland.
Pricing Details
