Billing and Fee Deduction Policies of Pay-per-Use Products

You can view all transaction bills in a billing cycle.

Pay-per-use products are charged based on different usage types and can be settled in hours, days, or months. For example, an ECS is billed hourly. The system deducts fees of the last settlement period within one hour of when the products are used.

• Settlement by hour: HUAWEI CLOUD calculates the fee based on your usage every hour and deducts the fee from your account. For example, fees incurred from 8:00 to 9:00 are deducted before 10:00.
• Settlement by day: HUAWEI CLOUD calculates the fee based on your usage and deducts the fee of the day after 00:00 on the next day. For example, fees incurred from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 on May 11, 2019 are deducted at about 01:00:00 on May 12, 2019.
• Settlement by month: HUAWEI CLOUD calculates the fee based on your usage and deducts the fee of the month at the beginning of the next month. For example, fees incurred from 00:00:00 on April 1, 2019 to 23:59:59 on April 30, 2019 are deducted at about 01:00:00 on May 1, 2019.
  

  When a product in the billing mode of daily peak bandwidth is settled by day, fees of a day are usually settled at about 16:00 of the next day. When a product in the billing mode of 95th percentile bandwidth, enhanced 95th percentile bandwidth, or average daily peak bandwidth is settled by month, fees of a month are usually settled at about 20:00 on the first day of the next month.
