Billing

Billing Items

DataArts Studio provides a basic package and an incremental package. Table 1 provides the details.

When buying a CDM incremental package (pay-per-use resource package), pay attention to the following:

• After buying such a package, you need to create CDM clusters of the corresponding instances in the specified region. The package can be used for 745 hours in each billing month within the validity period.
• The pay-per-use resource package can only be used to create a CDM cluster on the DataArts Studio console but not a CDM cluster on the CDM console. To create a CDM cluster on the CDM console, you must buy a discount package (pay-per-use resource package) on the CDM console.
• A discount package can be used by one or more qualified CDM clusters in the specified region. Any resource usage beyond the package quotas is billed based on a pay-per-use basis.

  For example, if you purchase a one-month package (745 hours/month) and two CDM clusters are associated with the package, 372.5 hours (about 15.5 days) can be allocated to each cluster within the one-month subscription. Any usage beyond the allocated hours will be charged in pay-per-use mode.

• If you purchase a package and do not associate it with any CDM clusters, the quota in the package will not be consumed and the validity period of the package will not be extended as well. Therefore, you are advised to make a plan before buying a package.
• If you want to enjoy the preferential price of the yearly/monthly incremental package, you can buy a yearly/monthly incremental package and then buy a pay-per-use incremental package which is in the same region and has the same specifications as the yearly/monthly incremental package.
• If you buy a pay-per-use incremental package and then a yearly/monthly incremental package in the same region and with the same specifications as the pay-per-use incremental package, the fees generated before you buy the yearly/monthly incremental package are charged in pay-per-use mode, and the subsequent fees are charged based on the yearly/monthly incremental package.

Billing Mode

Changing Specifications

DataArts Studio provides multiple specifications in its basic or incremental package. You can select specifications that meet your needs when buying a package. You can also change the specifications after buying a package in the following ways:

• DataArts Studio basic package upgrade: You can upgrade the DataArts Studio basic package. During the upgrade, you will be billed daily. After the upgrade is complete, you will be billed based on the new package.

  To upgrade a package, log in to the DataArts Studio console, locate the target DataArts Studio instance, click Upgrade, and buy a package with higher specifications.

  After the package is upgraded, the system creates a DataArts Migration cluster. The DataArts Migration cluster in the original basic package will be reserved, but you will not be billed for it. You must manually migrate data connections and jobs from the original CDM cluster to the new one. For details, see Batch Job Management.

If these methods do not meet your requirements, you can subscribe to a new DataArts Studio basic or incremental package and unsubscribe from the current one.

Renewal

• DataArts Studio basic package

  DataArts Studio basic packages are billed in yearly/monthly mode. When a package expires, there will be a grace period and a retention period (see Expiration and Overdue Payment for details). You are advised to renew the package before it expires.

  The DataArts Studio basic package supports automatic renewal. The default renewal period is as follows:

  • Your package will be renewed each month for monthly billing.
  • Your package will be renewed each year for yearly billing.

  You can enable automatic renewal in either of the following ways:

  • Log in to the management console. On the page for buying DataArts Studio instances, select Auto-renew.
  • Go to the Renewals page, select the DataArts Studio instance to be renewed in the list, click Enable Auto-Renew, and do as prompted.

  To renew the order manually, go to Renewals, select the target DataArts Studio instance, and click Renew in the row that contains the instance. For details about renewal, see Renewal Rules

• DataArts Studio incremental package
  • Yearly/Monthly DataArts Studio incremental package

    When a yearly/monthly DataArts Studio incremental package expires, it enters the grace period and then retention period (see Expiration and Overdue Payment for details). Top up your account before arrears.

    To top up your account, go to the Renewals page, choose Overview in the left navigation pane, and click Top Up.

  • Pay-per-use CDM incremental package

    Pay-per-use billing is calculated by hour. If your account is in arrears, the grace period and retention period will start in sequence (see Expiration and Overdue Payment for details). Top up your account to ensure sufficient account balance.

    To top up your account, go to the Renewals page, choose Overview in the left navigation pane, and click Top Up.

  • CDM incremental package billed by package (pay-per-use resource package)

    When a package of this type expires, it will be billed pay per use. If you want to use the package mode all the time, buy a new package before the current package expires.

    If you want to buy the DataArts Studio incremental package again, go to the Renewals page, select the DataArts Studio incremental package, and click Buy Again.

Expiration and Overdue Payment

• DataArts Studio basic package

  DataArts Studio basic packages are billed in yearly/monthly mode. When a package expires, it enters a grace period. During this period, you can access and use DataArts Studio, and the billing is normal. You need to extend the package duration in the grace period. Otherwise, the package will enter the retention period.

  During the retention period, data will be retained, but you cannot access the DataArts Studio instance, perform operations on the DataArts Studio console, or call related APIs. If you do not have sufficient balance in your account or do not renew the resource package before the retention period expires, DataArts Studio will become unavailable and data stored in the system will be deleted and cannot be recovered.

  The grace period and retention period vary based on your level. For details, see Resource Suspension and Release.

• DataArts Studio incremental package
  • Yearly/Monthly DataArts Studio incremental package

    When a package of this type expires, it enters the grace period. During this period, the package can still be used and billed as usual. You need to extend the package duration in the grace period. Otherwise, the package will enter the retention period.

    During the retention period, data is retained, but you can no longer use the package. If you do not renew your subscription within the retention period, the package will be unavailable and data will be permanently deleted when the retention period ends.

    The grace period and retention period vary based on your level. For details, see Resource Suspension and Release.

  • Pay-per-use CDM incremental package

    Pay-per-use billing is calculated by hour. You can use packages as long as your account balance is sufficient. If your account balance is insufficient to pay the fees for the previous hour, the DataArts Studio incremental package will enter the grace period. During this period, you can access and use the DataArts Studio incremental package, and resources in this grace period are still charged. You need to top up your account within the grace period. Otherwise, the package will enter the retention period.

    During the retention period, data is retained, but you cannot access the DataArts Studio incremental package, perform related operations, or call APIs. If you do not have sufficient balance in your account or do not renew the resource package before the retention period expires, DataArts Studio will become unavailable and data stored in the system will be deleted and cannot be recovered.

    The grace period and retention period vary based on your level. For details, see Grace Period and Retention Period.

  • CDM incremental package billed by package (pay-per-use resource package)

    When the validity period of a package ends, the package's billing mode will automatically change to pay-per-use.
