Bills

You can view the resource usage and bills for different billing cycles in Billing of Billing Center.

Billing Generation

Yearly/Monthly: Transaction records for yearly/monthly subscriptions are generated immediately after being paid for.
Pay-per-use: The usage of pay-per-use resources is reported to the billing system at a fixed interval for settlement. Pay-per-use resources can be settled by hour, day, or month based on usage type. For details, see Bill Run for Pay-per-Use Resources. The resources associated with the ECSs created on a DeH, such as images, EIPs, EVS disks, and CBR, are billed by hour.

The fee deduction time of pay-per-use resources may be later than the settlement period. For example, if a resource (settled by hour) is deleted at 08:30, the fees generated during 08:00 to 09:00 are usually deducted at 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 resource is used.
