• Billing rules

  Table 1 Billing

  Rule Item	Description
  Billing rule	For audio-only transcoding, the output duration is converted into an H.264 SD (640 x 480) or lower video duration at a ratio of 5/22. You are then billed based on this converted duration.
  Billing cycle	Calculated on an hourly basis and reflected in real time
  Billing mode	Pay-per-use
  Bill run time	After the current hourly billing cycle ends, the exact time when charges are posted is determined by the system.
  Settlement time	Settlement occurs automatically after the charges are posted.
  Billing formula	Hourly transcoding cost = Output duration per hour x (5/22) x $0.0094 USD per minute
  Billing specifications	The specification of an output video is determined by comparing the output's resolution to the defined ranges. A video is classified into a given specification if either its width or its height falls within that specification's ranges. For example, a video is considered HD (1280 × 720) if its width does not exceed 1280 or its height does not exceed 720. It is classified as a higher specification only if both its long side exceeds 1280 and its short side exceeds 720.

• Billing examples

  If you output a 100-minute audio from 09:00 to 10:00 on a day, the audio transcoding cost generated from 09:00 to 10:00 on the day is calculated as follows:

  Audio transcoding cost = Converted output duration x SD transcoding unit price. That is, 100 x (5/22) x 0.0094 = $0.2136 USD.
