Bills

You can view the resource usage and bills for different usage periods under Billing of Billing Center.

Bill Generation

You are not charged immediately after a record is generated. For example, if a pay-per-use pod is deleted at 08:30, you will still have expenditures for 08:00 to 09:00, but you will not likely be billed for 08:00 to 09:00 until about 10:00. In Billing Center, choose Billing > Transactions and Detailed Bills > Transaction Bills. Expenditure Time in the bill indicates the time when the pay-per-use resource is used.

Checking the Resource Usage

Assume that you purchased a pay-per-use general-computing pod (2 vCPUs and 4 GiB of memory) at 10:09:06 on January 1, 2025 and deleted it at 12:09:06 on January 1, 2025.

Transaction records

The usage periods of pay-per-use pods are calculated by the second but billed on an hourly basis. You can check the transaction records against the actual usage. For details, see Table 1.

**Table 1** CCI transaction records
Service Type	CCI
Resource Type	Pod
Billing Mode	Pay-per-use
Expenditure Time	From 10:09:06 to 12:09:06 on January 1, 2025, three transaction records was generated for the resource usage in the following periods: From 10:09:06 to 11:00:00 From 11:00:00 to 12:00:00 From 12:00:00 to 12:09:06
List Price	List price on the official website = Unit price × Number of vCPUs × Required duration + Unit price × Memory × Required duration In this example, you use the pod for 3,054 seconds in the first usage period. You can query the unit price on the CCI Pricing Details page. The pod has 2 vCPUs and 4 GiB of memory, its price is $0.00003072 USD/second, and the list price is 3,054 × $0.00003072 USD = $0.09381888 USD. Similarly, you can calculate the list price for the other periods.
Discounted Amount	Discounts offered for cloud services, for example, commercial discounts, partner authorized discounts, and promotional discounts. Discounts are based on the list prices.
Truncated Amount	Huawei Cloud billing is calculated to the 8th decimal place. However, the amount due is truncated to the 2nd decimal place. The third and later decimal places are referred to as the truncated amounts. Take the first period as an example. The truncated amount is $0.00381888 USD.
Amount Due	Amount due = List price – Discounted amount – Truncated amount Take the first period as an example. If the discounted amount is 0, the amount due is calculated as follows: $0.09381888 USD – $0 USD – $0.00381888 USD = $0.09 USD.
