Billing Overview

In this document, you will learn about the billing modes, billing items, renewal, and arrear of Edge Security (EdgeSec).

• Billing Modes

  EdgeSec provides two billing modes, yearly/monthly and pay-per-use billing, to meet requirements in different scenarios. Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid mode. You need to pay first, and will be billed based on the required duration in your order. You will need to make sure you have a top-up account with a sufficient balance or have a valid payment method configured first. Pay-per-use billing is a postpaid mode. In this mode, you pay for what you used.

• Billing items

  The billing items of EdgeSec consist of the service edition, number of requests/service traffic, and expansion package. For details about billing items and calculation formulas, see Billing Items.

  For more information about the billing samples and the billing for each item, see Billing Examples.

• Renewing subscriptions

  Yearly/Monthly EdgeSec cannot be used after it expires. To continue using EdgeSec, renew the subscription before it expires. Otherwise, the resources such as protection configurations and logs will be automatically released, and your data may be lost. You can renew your subscription manually or automatically. For details, see Overview.

• Bills

  You can go to Billing & Costs > Bills and view bills and expenditures for your EdgeSec resources. For details, see Viewing Bills.

• Arrears

  Your account goes into arrears when the balance cannot cover the bill you need to pay. If you want to continue using your cloud services, you will need to top up your account in a timely manner. For details, see About Arrears.

  If your no longer need to use EdgeSec, you can unsubscribe from or delete it to stop the billing. For details, see Billing Termination.
