Bills

Bill Generation

After you pay for a yearly/monthly resource, a bill is reported to the billing system in real time for settlement.

The usage of pay-per-use resources is reported to the billing system at a fixed interval for settlement. A pay-per-use resource is billed by the hour, day, or month, depending on the resource's usage type. For details, see Periodic Settlement of Pay-per-Use Products. The pay-per-use billing mode of KMS is settled by hour, and the pay-per-use billing mode of CSMS is settled by day.

You are not charged immediately after a billing record is generated. For example, if a key (which is billed on an hourly basis) is disabled at 08:30, your expenditures for the hour from 08:00 to 09:00 will not likely be billed until about 10:00. On the Billing Center > Billing > Transactions and Detailed Bills > Transaction Bills page, Expenditure Time indicates the time when a pay-per-use product is used.
