Billing Scenario

A user created a general-purpose file system in the CN North-Beijing 4 region at 15:00:00 on March 18, 2023. The file system specifications are as follows:

• Type: standard storage

At 15:00:00 on March 30, 2023, the user configured a lifecycle rule that would transition all data in the general-purpose file system to infrequent access storage after 14 days. The user did not purchase any resource package, and file system used capacity remained at 100 GB from March 18, 2023, 15:00:00 to April 30, 2023, 23:59:59. So how much will the user be billed for this general-purpose file system in March and April?

Billing Analysis

The total price of this general-purpose file system involves pay-per-use billing with both standard and infrequent access storage:

• Pay-per-use standard storage usage: March 18, 2023, 15:00:00 to April 13, 2023, 15:00:00
• Pay-per-use infrequent access storage usage: April 13, 2023, 15:00:00 to April 30, 2023, 23:59:59

Standard Storage - Pay-per-Use

From March 18, 2023, 15:00:00 to April 13, 2023, 15:00:00, the file system used standard storage, the used capacity was 100 GB, and the file system was used for 26 days, so the price would be calculated as follows:

$0.35 USD per GB per month/30 x 100 GB x 26 days ≈ $30.33 USD

Infrequent Access Storage - Pay-per-Use

From April 13, 2023, 15:00:00 to April 30, 2023, 23:59:59, the file system used infrequent access storage, the used capacity was 100 GB, and the file system was used for 17 days and 9 hours, so the price would be calculated as follows:

$0.12 USD per GB per month/30 x 100 GB x 17.375 days=$6.95 USD

From March to April, the total price of this general-purpose file system would be $37.28 USD (30.33 + 6.95).
