Cost Management

Prerequisites

• To split costs by tag, activate cost tags first.
• You have enabled cost splitting.

Notes

• Currently, peak bandwidth billing does not support cost splitting.
• Huawei Cloud helps you split costs after the bill is generated on the 3rd day of each month. The split costs are included in the amortized costs. You can view or export the amortized costs for each month after the 4th day of the following month to obtain the splitting results or details.
• In the month you enabled cost splitting, the split usage only reflects the usage starting after the day cost splitting was enabled, so the results may be inaccurate.
