Billing Scenario

A user purchased a one-month s7 DeH on March 18, 2023, 10:30:00 and created a pay-per-use ECS on March 18, 2023, 15:30:00. The ECS specifications are as follows:

  • Flavor: s7.large.2 (2 vCPUs, 4 GiB)
  • Image: CentOS 7.9
  • System disk: General Purpose SSD | 40 GiB
  • Data disk: General Purpose SSD | 100 GiB
  • Public network bandwidth: 6 Mbit/s

After a period of time, the user found that the current ECS specifications could not meet service requirements and upgraded the ECS specifications to s7.xlarge.2 (4 vCPUs, 8 GiB) on April 20, 2023, 9:00:00. Since the user wanted to use the DeH for a long term, the user then renewed the subscription for one more month. So how much will the user be billed for this DeH in March, April, and May?
