Billing Overview

In this document, you will learn about how clusters managed by Huawei Cloud UCS are billed, how you can renew subscriptions and manage costs, and what happens if your account goes into arrears.

• Billed Items

  You will be billed for clusters managed by Huawei Cloud UCS. For details about the billing formulas for each billed item, see Billed Items.

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

• Billing Modes

  There are yearly/monthly and pay-per-use billing modes to meet your requirements. Yearly/Monthly: You pay upfront for the amount of time you expect to use a cluster for. You will need to make sure you have a top-up account with a sufficient balance or have a valid payment method configured first. Pay-per-use: You can start using a cluster first and then pay as you go. For details about the two billing modes, see Billing Modes.

• Renewing Subscriptions

  After a yearly/monthly subscription expires, you will be billed for subsequently used resources on a pay-per-use basis. If you want to continue using the package, you need to renew the subscription within the specified period. You can renew your subscription manually or automatically. For more details, see Renewal.

• Viewing Bills

  You can choose Billing & Costs > Bills to check Huawei Cloud UCS transactions and bills. For details, see Bills.

• Arrears

  If there is no sufficient account balance to pay for your bill and there is no other payment method configured, your account will go into arrears. To continue using your cloud services and related resources, top up your account in a timely manner. For details, see Arrears.

• Stopping Billing

  If you no longer need to use your cloud services, you can unsubscribe from or delete them to stop the billing. For details, see Billing Termination.
