Billing Modes
Direct Connect supports both yearly/monthly and pay-per-use.
- Ports: yearly/monthly. You need to pay for the ports before using it. The price depends on the required duration. This billing mode is a right choice for users who have stable resource requirements and want to reduce costs.
- Outbound traffic: pay-per-use. You use the traffic and then pay for it. The price depends on how much traffic you use, and a bill is generated on the hour.
NOTE:
From July 1, 2024 00:00 GMT+8:00, Huawei Cloud Direct Connect will start billing you for the outbound traffic. Each Huawei Cloud account will have 50 TB of free outbound traffic each month. This preferential policy will last until December 31, 2025 24:00 GMT+8:00. From January 1, 2026 00:00 GMT+8:00, no free outbound traffic will be provided.
Application Scenarios
If you want to ensure resource stability over a certain period of time, yearly/monthly billing is a good choice for the following types of workloads:
- Long-term workloads with stable resource requirements, such as official websites, online malls, and blogs
- Long-term projects, such as scientific research projects and large-scale events
- Workloads with predictable traffic bursts, for example, e-commerce promotions or festivals
- Workloads with high data security requirements
Billed Items
Direct Connect provides standard connections, hosted connections, and full-service connections.
- Billed items of a standard or full-service connection: port, outbound traffic, one-time setup for connecting the leased line to the port provided by Huawei Cloud, leased line, and in-building cabling.
- Billed items of a hosted connection: outbound traffic and leased line
The port is billed only a yearly/monthly basis, and the outbound traffic is billed on a pay-per-use basis.
Payee |
Billed Item |
Description |
Payment Method |
---|---|---|---|
Huawei Cloud |
Port |
The port is billed based on its specifications. |
Prepayment by month or year |
Outbound traffic |
You will be billed for the outbound traffic from July 1, 2024 00:00 GMT+8:00. Outbound traffic refers to the traffic from the cloud network to the port used in your on-premises data center. |
Postpayment based on the traffic you use. A bill is generated based on the hour. |
|
Carrier or Huawei Cloud partner |
Leased line |
You need to pay to the partner for the line that is used to connect your on-premises data center to the Direct Connect location you select. |
Depends on the partner's requirements |
In-building cabling |
A fiber may be required for connecting your leased line to the equipment room at the Direct Connect location you select if the data center at the Direct Connect location is a carrier-neutral data center. You pay to the property of the neutral data center. |
Depends on the property's requirements |
Billed Usage Period
A yearly/monthly connection is billed for the purchased duration. The billing starts when you activated or renewed the subscription, and ends at 23:59:59 of the expiry date.
For example, if you purchased a one-month connection on July 08, 2023, 15:50:04, the billed usage period is from July 08, 2023, 15:50:04 to August 08, 2023, 23:59:59.
Billing Examples
Assume that you purchased a yearly/monthly connection (port type: 10GE) at 15:50:04 on July 8, 2023 for one month and manually renewed the connection for one month before it expires. The following usage periods will be billed:
- July 08, 2023, 15:50:04 to August 08, 2023, 23:59:59
- August 08, 2023, 23:59:59 to September 08, 2023, 23:59:59
You will be billed for both usage periods.
Impact of Expiration
Figure 1 shows the statuses a yearly/monthly connection can go through throughout its lifecycle. After a connection is purchased, it enters the valid period and runs normally during this period. If the connection is not renewed after it expires, before being deleted, it first enters a grace period and then a retention period.
Expiration Reminder
The system will send you a reminder (by email, SMS, or in-app message) 7 days before a yearly/monthly connection expires to remind you to renew the subscription.
Impact of Expiration
If a yearly/monthly connection is not renewed after it expires, it changes to the Expired state and enters a grace period. During the grace period, you can access Direct Connect but cannot change the bandwidth of the connection.
If the connection is not renewed after the grace period ends, its status turns to Frozen and it enters a retention period. You cannot perform any operations on the resource while it is in the retention period.
If the connection is not renewed after the retention period expires, it will be released and data cannot be restored.
