Pay-per-use	Unit price of gateway edition x Actual usage duration x Number of gateways + Unit price of public network bandwidth x Actual usage duration x Number of gateways
Bandwidth	Bandwidth for transferring API requests out over the public network.
Duration (hours)	Time for which you have used your gateway. Unit: hour (precise to seconds).

Billing Example

Assume that you have enabled a professional gateway without bandwidth at the unit price of $3.53 USD/hour. You purchased this gateway on Mar 8, 2023, 15:50:04 and deleted it on Mar 10, 2023, 17:50:00. The price calculation formula is as follows:

$\text{[math]}$

The result is rounded to the nearest two decimal places. If the price is less than $0.01 USD (after rounding off), $0.01 USD will be displayed. For this example, the price is $176.50 USD.
