Billing Mode

There are two billing modes.

  • Yearly/Monthly: billed by the purchase period. This is available only for MAS instances.
  • Pay-per-use:
    • Function module: billed by the MAS instance edition and features on a daily basis
    • MAS instance: billed by the specifications on an hourly basis
  • You can change your billing mode as required.

Renewal

Currently, MAS supports yearly/monthly and pay-per-use billing.

  • Pay-per-use: You can use MAS as long as you need with sufficient balance.
  • Yearly/monthly: An upfront payment is required when you purchase resources. No additional fees are incurred as you use the resources.

Renew the subscription on the management console. For details, see Renewal Rules.

Expiration and Overdue Payment

  • Expiration

    If your subscription is not renewed before it expires, a retention period will apply. The retention period length depends on your account. After this period ends, your resources will be automatically deleted and cannot be restored, and the service cannot be renewed. For details about the retention period rule, see Resource Suspension and Release.

  • 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 within the specified period. For details, see Topping Up an Account (Prepaid Direct Customers).
