Billing Examples

Suppose you purchased a one-month DeH on March 08, 2023, 15:50:04, and renewed the subscription for one more month before the initial subscription expired. The following usage periods will be billed:

March 8, 2023, 15:50:04 to April 8, 2023, 23:59:59
April 8, 2023, 23:59:59 to May 8, 2023, 23:59:59

You need to pay for each billing cycle first. Resources associated with ECSs created on the DeH are billed individually. The billing formula is shown in Table 3.
