Billing

MTD supports the yearly/monthly billing mode. If you choose this mode, the longer you use, the more you save.

For details, see Product Pricing Details.

Billing Items

You are billed based on the purchased specifications, usage duration, and the volume of scanned logs that exceeds the specifications per month.

**Table 1** MTD billing

If you do not renew MTD after it expires, your resources will enter a retention period. The resources will be automatically deleted and cannot be restored and the service cannot be renewed after the retention period ends. For details about the retention period, see Resource Suspension and Release.

If the specifications you purchased expire and you do not renew them, MTD will charge you on a pay-per-use basis.
