Billing Overview

In this document, you will learn about how Intelligent O&M of Data Admin Service (DAS) is billed along with details about billing modes and billing items.

• Billing Modes

  Intelligent O&M supports both free and paid instances. It can store SQL data for different periods in the two billing modes. SQL data can be stored for 1 hour for free instances. For details about how long SQL data can be stored for paid instances, see Billing Policy. This billing rule applies to both existing and new instances using Intelligent O&M. You can enable Slow Query Logs and SQL Explorer for up to 10 free instances. There is no such a limit on paid instances. For details, see Intelligent O&M Billing.

• Billing Items

  Intelligent O&M billing includes basic pricing (only for paid instances) and additional fees.

  • Pricing is listed on a per-hour basis, but bills are calculated based on the actual usage duration. Each partial hour consumed is billed as a full hour.
  • Additional fees will be incurred by the extra space that DAS uses to store the excess data longer than 30 days if your database contains more than 5 GB of data.

  For more information about the billing samples and the billing for each item, see Billing Examples.

• Viewing Bills

  You can choose Billing Center > Billing to check the instance transactions and bills. For details, see Bills.

• Arrears

  If there is not a sufficient account balance to pay for your bill, your account will go into arrears. If you want to continue using your cloud services, you will need to top up your account in a timely manner. For details, see Arrears.

• Stopping Billing

  If Intelligent O&M is no longer needed to store SQL data for a long time, you can change paid instances to free ones to avoid unnecessary fees. For details, see Billing Termination.
