Take the yearly/monthly mode as an example. Assume that you purchased a yearly/monthly Kafka instance (kafka.2u4g.cluster × 3, ultra-high I/O 300 GB total storage space) in AP-Singapore on Mar 08, 2023, 15:50:04. The billing items include the instance (broker flavor and quantity) and storage space (ultra-high I/O 300 GB). Assume the subscription is for one month, and will be manually renewed for one month before it expires:

  • The first billing period: Mar 08, 2023, 15:50:04–Apr 08, 2023, 23:59:59
  • The second billing period: Apr 08, 2023, 23:59:59–May 08, 2023, 23:59:59
