Bills

On the management console, choose Billing & Costs > Bills to go to the Billing Center. On the Bills page, view the resource bills to learn about the usage and charging information of the resource in a certain period.

Bill Generation

Transaction records for yearly/monthly subscriptions are generated immediately after being paid for.

The usage of pay-per-use resources is reported to the billing system at a fixed interval. A pay-per-use resource is billed by the hour, day, or month, depending on the resource's usage type.

Pay-per-use MRS clusters are settled by hour and you are not charged immediately after a record is generated.

Viewing the Bills of a Specific Resource Using the Resource ID

  1. Log in to the MRS console and choose Analytics > MapReduce Service. The active MRS cluster list is displayed.
  2. Click the name of the cluster to be queried, click Nodes, and record the ID of the target cluster node.

  3. Click the name of the node to be queried. On the displayed ECS page, click on the left of the system disk and data disk names and record the ID of each EVS disk.
  4. Click Summary. In the ECS Information area, view and record the ECS ID.
  5. On the top menu bar of the console, choose Billing & Costs> Bills.
  6. Choose Transactions and Detailed Bills in the navigation pane on the left, click the Bill Details tab, and set Settings to Resource Name or ID.

Checking the Consistency of the Actual Usage and Billed Usage

Assume that a user purchased a pay-per-use MRS cluster of the normal edition at 14:38:04 on July 24, 2023 and deleted it at 15:38:04 on July 24, 2023 and the cluster specifications were as follows:

  • master_node_default_group node group (Master node group for short)
    • Number of nodes: 3
    • Node specifications: c6.4xlarge.4 (16 vCPUs | 64 GB)
    • System disk: ultra-high I/O and 100 GB
    • Data disk: ultra-high I/O and 200 GB
  • core_node_analysis_group node group (Core node group for short)
    • Number of nodes: 2
    • Node specifications: c6.2xlarge.4 (8 vCPUs | 32 GB)
    • System disk: general-purpose SSD and 100 GB
    • Data disk: general-purpose SSD and 200 GB

Transaction bills of MRS normal clusters

The usage of a pay-per-use MRS cluster is calculated by second and billed by hour. Each MRS cluster node is billed separately. Choose Billing & Costs > Bills on the top of the MRS console to enter the Billing Center. Choose Bills > Bill Details. On the Transaction Bills tab page, check whether the information about each billing cycle is consistent with the actual information, as shown in Table 1.

Expenditure time

From July 24, 2023, 14:38:04 to July 24, 2023, 15:38:04, the billing system generates transaction bills for each billing cycle.

  • July 24, 2023, 14:38:04–July 24, 2023, 15:00:00
  • July 24, 2023, 15:00:00–July 24, 2023, 16:00:00

List price

List price:

  • MRS management fee = Number of cores x Number of nodes x Unit price of core specifications x Required duration
  • ECS fee: Number of nodes x ECS unit price x Required duration
  • EVS disk (system disk and data disk) fee: EVS disk size x EVS disk unit price x Quantity x Required duration

In this example, the usage of a normal MRS cluster in the first billing cycle is 1,316 seconds. You can query the unit price at Price Calculator.

Truncated amount

Huawei Cloud bills a resource with the price (USD) accurate to the eighth decimal place. However, the amount due is truncated to the second decimal place, while the third and subsequent decimal places are referred to as the truncated amount.

Amount due

Amount due = List price – Truncated amount

Detailed bills of MRS normal clusters

On the management console, choose Billings & Costs > Bills. On the Billing Center page that is displayed, choose Billing > Transactions and Detailed Bills. In the Bill Details tab, you can view bill details from multiple dimensions. By default, the bill details of a resource are displayed by usage and by billing cycle.
