Billing Modes
Global Accelerator provides pay-per-use billing mode. Pay-per-use billing means you pay nothing up front and are not tied into any contract or commitment. This section describes the billing rules for pay-per-use global accelerators.
Application Scenarios
Pay-per-use billing is good for short-term, bursty, or unpredictable workloads that cannot tolerate any interruptions, such as applications for e-commerce flash sales, temporary testing, and scientific computing.
Billing Items
Billing Item |
Description |
---|---|
Global accelerators |
You are charged based on how long each global accelerator is retained in your account. The smallest billing unit is one hour. Partial hours are counted as full hours. Global accelerator price = Unit price x Required duration |
Data transfer |
You are charged for either the inbound or outbound traffic, whichever direction has more traffic. Data transfer price = Unit price x Traffic used |
Billed Usage Period
Pay-per-use global accelerator usage is calculated by the second and billed every hour. The billing starts when the global accelerator is launched and ends when the instance is deleted.
Billing Examples
For example, if you purchased a global accelerator on July 1, 2023, 9:29:30 and deleted it on July 1, 2023, 10:45:46, the following usage periods will be billed:
- 9:00:00 to 10:00:00 (one hour)
- 10:00:00 to 11:00:00 (one hour)
The prices displayed in the pricing details are per hour, and you will be billed for each usage period.
Table 2 shows the billing formula.

Arrears Impact
After a global accelerator is purchased, it enters the valid period and runs normally during this period. If your account goes into arrears, it enters a grace period and then a retention period.

Arrears Reminder
The system will bill you for pay-per-use resources after each billing cycle ends. If your account goes into arrears, we will notify you by email, SMS, or in-app message.
Arrears Impact
If your account is insufficient to pay your amount due, your account goes into arrears, and the pay-per-use global accelerator enters the grace period. You are still responsible for expenditures generated during the grace period. You can view the charges on the Billing Center > Overview page and pay any past due balance as needed.
If you do not bring your account balance current before the grace period expires, the global accelerator status turns to Frozen and enters a retention period. You cannot perform any operations on a pay-per-use global accelerator in the Frozen status.
If you do not bring your account balance current before the retention period ends, the global accelerator will be released and the data cannot be restored.
