Billing

Updated on 2024-09-14 GMT+08:00

CSS supports two billing modes: pay-per-use and yearly/monthly. The latter is more cost-effective. For pricing details, see CSS Price Calculator.

Billing Items

CSS bills you for your selected instance specifications and usage duration.

Table 1 CSS billing

Billing Item

Description

Node Specifications

Specify the instance type and specifications (vCPUs and memory), required duration, and the number of purchased instances. You can purchase node instances in the pay-per-use or yearly/monthly mode.

Node storage

Specifies the disk type. You can select disks of a type based on your business scenario. The billing standard varies depending on the disk type.

Billing mode: pay-per-use or yearly/monthly.

CSS provides the following types of disks:

  • Common I/O
  • High I/O
  • Ultra-High I/O

Bandwidth

Specifies the bandwidth. When you enable the public IP address function or Kibana public IP address for a cluster, you will be billed for the bandwidth.

Billing mode: pay-per-use or yearly/monthly.

CSS provides the following types of bandwidth:

  • Low bandwidth (1 to 5 Mbit/s)
  • High bandwidth (6 to 2,000 Mbit/s)

The billing automatically falls into low or high bandwidth based on the bandwidth you select.

Billing Modes

  • Pay-per-use

    In pay-per-use mode, you are billed for a full hour even though you use CSS for less than 1 hour. You can enable or disable CSS as you like. This mode is suitable if you want more flexibility and control on resource usage.

  • Yearly/Monthly billing

    In yearly/monthly mode, you need to pay for the service duration you selected in one-off mode. The service duration range is one month to three years. This mode provides a larger discount than pay-per-use and is recommended for long-term users.

Changing the Billing Mode

  • Change the billing mode

    Changing from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly: After the billing mode is changed from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly, a new order is then generated for you, and the new billing mode takes effect immediately after you pay for the order.

    Changing from yearly/monthly to pay-per-use: The pay-per-use billing mode will take effect after the original yearly/monthly subscription expires.

  • Change the node storage and quantity

    If the existing cluster adopts the pay-per-use billing mode, the modified nodes and node storage in the cluster will also be billed in the pay-per-use mode by default.

    For the modified nodes and storage capacity in a yearly/monthly cluster, their billing period starts from their provisioning time and ends with the yearly/monthly subscription of the cluster. For example, assume that your cluster is billed on a monthly basis and is scaled out on January 20. If the monthly subscription renews on January 30, you will have to pay for the fees generated by the new resources from January 20 to January 30.

  • Change node specifications

    After node specifications are modified, nodes are billed based on the new specifications.

  • Change bandwidth

    If you change the Internet access bandwidth for a cluster or Kibana, you will be billed based on the new bandwidth.

Renewal

You can renew a resource package upon its expiration, or you can set auto-renewal rules for a resource package. For more information about renewing resource packages, see Renewal Management.

Expiration and Overdue Payment

If your account is in arrears, you can view the arrears details in the Billing Center. To prevent related resources from being stopped or released, top up your account in a timely manner. If your account is in arrears, top up your account within the specified period. For details, see Topping Up an Account.
