Overview

Updated on 2025-01-20 GMT+08:00

The Overview page helps you quickly access the common billing functions.

Huawei Cloud provides prepayment and postpayment options.

  • Prepayment: You pay for a product or service before using it.

    You top up your Huawei Cloud account, and then pay from the account balance. Huawei Cloud will deduct payment from your account immediately after you subscribe to a yearly/monthly product. Likewise, you will be billed for pay-per-use expenditures in a nearly real-time manner.

  • Postpayment: You can use the product or service first and pay later.

    Top-up is not required. For a yearly/monthly product, you can choose to either pay immediately or pay later. For details, see Bill Run for Pay-per-Use Resources.

The fields on the Overview page for prepayment and postpayment options are slightly different, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. For detailed field descriptions, see Table 1.
