Billing Examples

Cloud Connection Billing Example

Assume that you purchased a one-month, 150-Mbit/s bandwidth package at 15:50:04 on March 8, 2023 for communications within the Chinese mainland and renewed the subscription for one more month before the initial subscription expired. That would include two usage periods:
  • March 08, 2023, 15:50:04 to April 08, 2023, 23:59:59
  • April 8, 2023, 23:59:59 to May 8, 2023, 23:59:59

You will be billed for each usage period. Table 1 shows the billing formula.

Central Network Billing Example

Assume that you purchased a 150-Mbit/s global connection bandwidth for a cross-site connection between enterprise routers at 9:30:00 on April 18, 2023.

  • You increased the bandwidth to 200 Mbit/s at 11:00:00 on April 18, 2023.
  • You deleted the bandwidth at 11:00:00 on April 19, 2023.

Enterprise routers are free of charge, but the connections between enterprise routers are billed by the hour.

In this example, the unit price of the global connection bandwidth is $0.1 USD/Mbit/s per hour, and that of the connection is $0.06 USD/hour. Table 2 shows the details.

Figure 2 shows how the total price is calculated.

Global connection bandwidth

From 9:30:00 on April 18, 2023 to 11:00:00 on April 19, 2023

  • From 9:30:00 on April 18, 2023 to 11:00:00 on April 18, 2023: 1.5 hours
  • From 11:00:00 on April 18, 2023 to 11:00:00 on April 19, 2023: 24 hours
  • $0.1 USD x 150 Mbit/s x 1.5 hours = $22.5 USD
  • $0.1 USD x 200 Mbit/s x 24 hours = $480 USD

$22.5 USD + $480 USD = $502.5 USD

Connection between enterprise routers

From 9:30:00 on April 18, 2023 to 11:00:00 on April 19, 2023: 25.5 hours

$0.06 x 1 x 25.5 hours = $1.53 USD

$1.53 USD
