Billing Examples

Billing Scenario

You purchased a general-computing pod (0.5 vCPUs and 1 GiB of memory) at 15:00:00 on January 1, 2025.

After a period of time, you found that the pod no longer met your service requirements and upgraded the specifications to 1 vCPU and 2 GiB of memory at 09:00:00 on January 3, 2025. You intended to use this pod for a long time and purchased a general-computing 1,000 vCPU-hours CPU monthly package and a general-computing 1,000 GiB-hour memory monthly package at 9:00:00 on January 10, 2025.

Due to service adjustment, you deleted the pod at 9:00:00 on February 12, 2025. So how much were you billed for this pod from January to February?
