Billing Examples

Billing Scenario

A user started a pay-per-use DRS synchronization task in the CN-Hong Kong region at 15:30:00 on March 18, 2023. The task configuration is as follows:

  • Data Flow: To the cloud
  • Source DB Engine: MySQL
  • Destination DB Engine: MySQL
  • DRS Task Type: Single AZ
  • Specifications: Medium
  • Network Type: Public network. You need to bind an EIP to the DRS instance. The public network bandwidth is 6 Mbit/s.

After a period of time, the user found that the current task specifications no longer met service requirements and upgraded the specifications to Large at 09:00:00 on March 20, 2023. Since the user wanted to use the task long term, the user then changed the task to yearly/monthly billing with a one-month duration at 10:30:00 on the same day. So how much will the user be billed for this task in March and April?
