Billing Examples
The prices in the following examples are for reference only. For the actual prices, see Pricing Details.
On July 1, 2023, suppose you uploaded 50 GB of Standard data to a single-AZ OBS bucket in the CN-Hong Kong region, and there were 100 upload requests generated. Then, on the same day and in the same region, you purchased a 1-month outbound Internet traffic package of 50 GB at $2.79 USD. From 08:00 to 24:00 (busy hours) on each of the following two days, you downloaded 50 GB of data to your local PC over the Internet, which generated 100 requests a day, and you did not perform any other operations in the rest of July. You would be billed for the following items:
Standard storage: billed every day from July 1, 2023
Requests: billed on July 1, 2, and 3, 2023
Traffic: billed on July 2 and 3, 2023
Specific billing analysis is given as follows:
Pay-per-use billing:
Standard storage cost = ($0.0230 USD per GB-month)/30 x 50 GB x 30 days = $1.15 USD
Request cost = $0.0001 USD per 1,000 requests x (100 requests/1,000 requests) x 3 = $0.00003 USD
Outbound Internet traffic cost = $0.1180 USD/GB x 50 GB x 2 = $11.8 USD
Yearly/monthly (resource package) billing:
On July 2, 2023, the purchased package covered the 50 GB traffic generated. On July 3, 2027, the 50 GB traffic was billed on a pay-per-use basis ($0.1180 USD/GB x 50 GB = $5.9 USD). The total cost in July was as follows:
Total cost = 2.79 + 1.15 + 0.00003 + 5.9 = $9.84003 USD
