Billing Examples

Billing Scenario

A user purchased a 100-GB server backup vault in the CN North-Beijing4 region at 15:00:00 on March 18, 2023 and used 40 GB of the storage space. After a period of time, the user found that the current specifications no longer met service requirements and purchased a 200-GB replication vault (acceleration not used) in the CN South-Guangzhou region at 09:00:00 on March 20, 2023. Since the user wanted to use the vaults long term, the user then changed both vaults to yearly/monthly billing with a one-month duration at 10:00:00 on March 20, 2023. So how much will the user be billed for the vaults in March and April?

Billing Analysis

Total prices of the two vaults involve both pay-per-use and yearly/monthly usage:

• Pay-per-use usage: March 18, 2023, 15:00:00 to March 20, 2023, 10:00:00
• Yearly/monthly usage: March 20, 2023, 10:00:00 to April 20, 2023, 23:59:59

Pay-per-use

• From March 18, 2023, 15:00:00 to March 20, 2023, 09:00:00, the 100-GB backup vault was used for 42 hours, so the price would be $1.176 USD ($0.00028 USD/GB-hour x 100 GB x 42 hours).
• From March 20, 2023, 09:00:00 to March 20, 2023, 10:00:00, both the 100-GB backup vault and 200-GB replication vault were used for an hour, so the total price would be $0.084 USD ($0.00028 USD/GB-hour x 100 GB x 1 hour + $0.00028 USD/GB-hour x 200 GB x 1 hour).

Yearly/Monthly

From March 20, 2023, 10:00:00 to April 20, 2023, 23:59:59, both vaults were used for a month, so the price would be calculated as follows.
