Overview

In this document, you will learn about the billing modes, billing items, renewal, and arrears of ROMA Connect.

  • Billing Modes
    Old version: yearly/monthly. New version: pay-per-use and packages.
    • Yearly/Monthly: You pay for an instance for the period specified in the order before using it. Therefore, ensure that your account balance is sufficient before placing an order.
    • Pay-per-use: You can use the service first, and will be billed for the used ROMA Compute Units (RCUs) and your usage duration.
    • Packages: You pay for a package before using the specified RCU duration quota in it. A ROMA Connect instance of the new version consumes the RCU duration quota in the package first, and the overflow (if any) is billed on a pay-per-use basis.

    For details, see Billing Modes.

  • Billing Items

    The billing item of the old version is ROMA Connect instances. The new version is billed on the number of RCUs and the usage duration. For details, see Billing Items.

  • Renewal

    Yearly/Monthly instances beyond their subscription cannot run properly. To continue using your instance, renew it before it expires. Otherwise, the instance will be automatically released, and your data may be lost. You can renew your subscription manually or automatically. For details, see Overview.

  • Bills

    To learn about your expenditures, go to Billing Center > Billing, and view the transactions and billing details related to your instance. For details, see Bills.

  • Arrears

    Your account goes into arrears when the balance is less than the bill to be settled. To continue using your cloud services, top up your account in time. For details, see Arrears.

  • Stopping Billing

    To avoid unexpected bills, you can unsubscribe from or delete your cloud services if they are no longer needed. For details, see Stopping Billing.

  • Cost Management

    ROMA Connect costs are classified into resource costs and O&M costs. You can manage your costs from three aspects: allocation, analysis, and optimization. For details, see Cost Management.
