One-Click Calculation

Set the parameters by referring to Table 4.

**Table 4** Parameters shown when you select Calculated for Bill As
Parameter	Description
Bill As	Select Calculated. The quantities of read/write traffic, index traffic, standard storage, and cold storage packages are calculated based on Raw Log Size (the volume of new logs per day, in GB/day or TB/day), Log Retention (days), and Standard Storage (days). NOTE: Cold storage is available only to whitelisted users. To use it, submit a service ticket. After your request is approved, enable cold storage by referring to Managing Log Streams. Standard Storage (days) is available only after cold storage is enabled. The quantities of read/write traffic packages and index traffic packages are related to Raw Log Size. The quantities of standard storage packages and cold storage packages are related to Raw Log Size, Log Retention (days), and Standard Storage (days).
Calculation Results	Assume that Raw Log Size is 10 GB, Log Retention (days) is 30 days, Standard Storage (days) is seven days, and the default specification (100 GB) is selected for each package. The calculation results for one month are as follows. If you select TB/day, convert TB to GB. For read/write traffic packages: The read/write traffic has a compression ratio of 1:5. The required traffic is (10 GB x 30 days)/5 = 60 GB, which is less than 100 GB. Therefore, only one package is required. For index traffic packages: (10 GB x 30 days)/100 GB = 3. Therefore, three packages are required. For standard storage packages: The total volume is 10 GB x 7 days = 70 GB, which is less than 100 GB. Therefore, only one package is required. For cold storage packages: The cold storage duration is 30 – 7 = 23 days. The number of required packages is (10 GB x 23 days)/100 GB = 2.3, which is rounded up to 3. Therefore, three packages are required.
Duration	Select the resource packages' usage duration (by month or year).
Valid	Immediately: Your packages take effect instantly upon successful payment, and usage is deducted from them preferentially. Custom: Set a specific time for the resource packages to take effect. If you select a time that is not on the hour, for example, 2023.07.11 10:30:00, the system will begin deducting usage from the packages at the start of the next full hour, that is, 11:00:00 on July 11, 2023.
