Bill Reporting Period

The usage of pay-per-use resources is reported to the billing system at a fixed interval for settlement. LTS reports service detail records (SDRs) every hour, collects statistics on the usage of all LTS resources by hour, and settles fees based on the usage.

• LTS transaction bills

  LTS is billed by hour. You can check whether the billing cycle in the transaction bill is consistent with the actual billing cycle. For details, see Table 1.

  Table 1 LTS transaction bills

  Product type	Log Tank Service (LTS)
  Product	LTS
  Billing mode	Pay-per-use
  Expenditure time	The billing system generates a transaction bill to collect statistics on the total log storage space used in the billing cycle of 16:00:00 (GMT+08:00) on July 11, 2023 to 17:00:00 (GMT+08:00) on July 11, 2023.
  List price	List price = Log volume (GB) x Unit price per GB In this example, you can query the unit price in the price calculator. For example, if the usage (pricing unit) is 2517.116 GB and the unit price is USD0.000125/GB-hour, the list price is 2,517.1161736575 x 0.000125 = USD0.31463952.
  Discount amount	Discounts offered for cloud services, for example, commercial discounts, partner authorized discounts, and promotional discounts. It is the discounted amount based on the list price.
  Truncated amount	Huawei Cloud bills a resource with the price (USD) accurate to the eighth decimal place. However, the amount due is truncated to the second decimal place, while the third and subsequent decimal places are referred to as the truncated amount.
  Amount	Amount = List price – Discount amount – Truncated amount If the discount amount is 0, the amount is 0.31463952 – 0 – 0.00463952 = USD0.31.
