Billing Overview

In this document, you will learn about how IoT Device Access (IoTDA) is billed, how you can renew subscriptions, and what happens if your account goes into arrears.

• Billing Modes

  IoTDA supports pay-per-use billing, which is a postpaid mode. You are charged based on the actual usage duration.

• Billing Items

  IoTDA is billed based on the instance specifications and usage duration. For details about the billing factors and formulas for each billing item, see Billing Items.

  For more information about the billing samples in different scenarios and the billing process for each billing item in different billing modes, see Billing Examples.

• Viewing Bills

  You can choose Billing Center > Billing to check the IoTDA transactions and bills. For details, see Bills.

• Arrears

  If there is not a sufficient account balance to pay for your bill and there is no other payment method configured, your account will go into arrears. If you want to continue using your cloud services, you will need to top up your account in a timely manner. For details, see Arrears.

• Stopping Billing

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