MPC is billed by project. Bills cannot be queried by resource.

The resource ID in an MPC bill is in the following format: Project ID + Billing specifications. Project ID is generated by project.

Project IDs are generated based on accounts and Huawei Cloud origin servers. The query method is as follows:

Log in to the MPC console.
Move the cursor to the username in the upper right corner of the page and select My Credentials from the drop-down list.

The My Credentials > API Credentials page is displayed, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Projects

The resource ID is used only for billing. The resource ID information cannot be queried on the MPC console.

Table 1 describes the mapping between resource IDs and billing product types in MPC bills.

NOTICE:

In a project of an account, project IDs of different resource IDs are the same.

To query MPC bills by resource ID, perform the following steps:

Log in to the management console. On the top menu bar, choose Billing > Bills.
Choose Bill Details, enter the ID of the resource to be queried in the search box, and click to search for the bill of the specified resource.

By default, bill details are displayed by usage and billing cycle. You can also select other statistical dimensions or periods. For details, see Bills.

If you have configured an enterprise project when creating a domain name on Live, see Adding Domain Names. Bills are split by enterprise project.

Currently, live transcoding bills can be split by enterprise. The fees are charged by MPC.

To view the cost split of an enterprise project, choose Cost Management.

To query MPC bills by enterprise project, perform the following steps:

Log in to the management console. On the top menu bar, choose Billing > Bills.
Choose Bill Details, select the following items in the filter criteria, and click to search for bills of a specified enterprise project.
- Enterprise Project: Non-project indicates that the current bill does not belong to any enterprise project. Default indicates the default enterprise project. Select an enterprise project name as required.
- Service Type: Select Media Processing Center (MPC).
By default, bill details are displayed by usage and billing cycle. You can also select other statistical dimensions or periods. For details, see Bills.
