Billing Overview

In this document, you will learn about how load balancers are billed, how you can renew subscriptions and manage costs, and what happens if your account goes into arrears.

• Billing Mode

  There is only pay-per-use billing mode. Pay-per-use is a postpaid mode. You can use load balancers first and then pay as you go. For details about the billing mode, see Overview.

• Billing Items

  For dedicated load balancers, you will be billed for how long you use each load balancer and how many load balancer capacity units (LCUs) you use. For shared load balancers, you will be billed for how long you use each load balancer.

  Billing Items (Dedicated Load Balancers) and Billing Items (Shared Load Balancers) describe the billing factors and formulas for each billing item.
