This depends on the service area of your domain name.

1. When the service area is Global:
   • You are billed on a pay-per-use basic (account balance is deducted). That is, CDN charges you based on the traffic used by your users in the Chinese mainland to access CDN PoPs. For details, see Price Calculator.
   • If you purchase only a Chinese mainland traffic package, traffic generated when users outside the Chinese mainland access the domain name are pay-per-use (account balance is deducted). The detailed rules are the same as those described above.
2. When the service area is Chinese mainland:
   • Users request content from PoPs in the Chinese mainland. The generated traffic can only be deducted from Chinese mainland traffic packages.
3. When the service area is Outside Chinese mainland:
   • Traffic generated by user access can only be deducted from international traffic packages.
