Huawei Cloud provides a wide range of tools to help you keep your expenditures in line.

Bills and Reconciliation

Huawei Cloud offers a diverse set of charts to help you quickly understand bills and make multi-dimensional reconciliation.

You can get started with multiple types of bills and reports to get a clear picture of your total expenditures, payments, and bill details. For details, see Bills.

Resource Package Usage Alerts

To keep costs down, Huawei Cloud helps you evaluate whether there is any unexpected package usage.

If you have purchased a resource package, you can learn about the remaining usage of the resource package in a timely manner. You can enable usage alerts so that you can be notified before the resource package is used up. This way, you can avoid unexpected expenditures by limiting pay-per-use usage or by purchasing new resource packages in a timely manner. For details, see Resource Packages.

Cost Anomaly Detection

You can use cost anomaly detection provided by Cost Center to identify any unexpected cost spikes in a timely manner. For details, see Cost Anomaly Detection.

Cost Anomaly Detection uses machine learning to analyze your historical expenditures, establish a baseline, and identify root causes for cost surprises.
You can configure alerts to keep you up to date on any cost anomalies, so you can quickly take action based on identified potential causes, service conditions, and cost analyses.
