Pay-per-Use to Package

If you plan to use the current pay-per-use OCR service for an extended period, you can switch to package billing to save costs. Changing from pay-per-use to package will generate a new order, and once you pay for the order, the package resources will take effect immediately.

Suppose a user subscribes to a pay-per-use OCR service at 15:29:16 on April 18, 2023. Due to business needs, they execute a pay-per-use to package switch operation at 16:30:30 on the same day. After you pay the order, the OCR service included in the package takes effect immediately. The Billing Center > Billing page will display the following three detailed bills:

  • Pay-per-use: April 18, 2023, at 15:00:00 to April 18, 2023, at 16:00:00, incurred costs between 15:29:16 and 16:00:00
  • Pay-per-use: April 18, 2023, at 16:00:00 to April 18, 2023, at 17:00:00, incurred costs between 16:00:00 and 16:30:30
  • Package: April 18, 2023, at 16:30:30
