Will I Receive a Notification If My Account Balance Is Insufficient?

You can set the balance alert function in the Billing Center. The system checks your account balance and sends a notification if your balance is less than or equal to your set threshold. Set the alert threshold based on your resource usage.

  1. Log in to the management console and click Billing in the upper right corner.

    The Overview page of the Billing Center is displayed.

  2. In the Available Credit area on the Overview page, toggle on or off Balance Alert to enable or disable the balance alert function.
  3. In the displayed Enable Balance Alerts dialog box, set Threshold.
  4. Click OK to complete the setting of the balance alert function.

    After the setting, you can click Modify next to Alert Threshold to modify the alert threshold.

  5. With balance alert enabled, when the sum of your account balance, cash coupons, and flexi-purchase coupons goes below the threshold, the recipients will receive a notification for 1-3 days by SMS and email.

    You can modify the recipients that receive the balance alerts at SMS & Email Settings > Finance > Account balance in the Message Center.

    After receiving a balance alert, top up your account or disable unnecessary resources in a timely manner to avoid affecting the normal use of cloud resources or to stop unnecessary fees from being generated.
