Bills

You can view the bill of a resource in the Billing & Costs > Bills section to learn about its usage and billing information in a certain period.

Bill Reporting Period

The usage of pay-per-use resources is reported to the billing system at a fixed interval. Pay-per-use products can be settled by hour, day, or month based on the usage type. For details about the fee deduction rules, see Bill Run for Pay-per-Use Resources. Pay-per-use gateways are settled by hour.

The fee deduction time of pay-per-use resources may be later than the settlement period. For example, if a gateway (settled by hour) is deleted at 08:30, the fees generated during 08:00 to 09:00 are usually deducted at about 10:00. On the Billing & Costs > Bills > Expenditure Details page, Expenditure Time indicates the duration for which a pay-per-use product is used.
