Bills

You can view the resource usage and bills for different billing cycles on the Bills page in the Billing Center.

Billing Generation

Once the package resources are paid for, a real-time bill will be sent to the billing system for settlement.

In the pay-per-use billing mode, resource usage is reported to the billing system for settlement on a fixed cycle. Depending on the type of usage, pay-per-use resources are settled on an hourly, daily, or monthly basis. For details about billing rules, see Periodic Settlement of Pay-per-Use Products. Pay-per-use OCR services are settled on an hourly basis.

The charging time for pay-per-use resources may lag behind the settlement cycle. For example, if an OCR service is disabled at 08:30:00 and incurs fees between 08:00:00 and 09:00:00, the charges are usually deducted around 10:00:00. On the Billing Center > Billing > Transactions and Detailed Bills > Transaction Bills page, Expenditure Time indicates the time when a pay-per-use product is used.
