How Is Billing Handled When a Package Is Used Up? And How Can I Check the Remaining Quota and Receive Alerts for My Package?

Once the package limit is reached, billing will switch to pay-per-use (based on the number of successful API calls). If the service is not used, there will be no charges. For specific pricing details, see OCR Pricing Details.

Checking Your Package Quota

  1. Log in to the OCR console.
  2. Choose Package Management to check the remaining package quota.

Setting Alerts for Remaining Package Quota

  • Threshold type: You can set the remaining usage alarm threshold as required. When the remaining usage of a resource package reaches the alarm threshold, the system sends an SMS message or email to you.
  • When the total usage changes after purchasing or renewing a resource package, the alert will be triggered again.
  • Usage is only applicable to the region you call, and different regions will be counted separately.
  • When multiple resource packages are used together, the system will aggregate and calculate the remaining usage.
