Scenario Example: Checking the Consistency of the Actual Usage and Billed Usage

Assume that a user started a pay-per-use single-AZ synchronization task from MySQL to MySQL with the medium specifications at 16:03:02 on July 20, 2023 and stopped it later that day, at 18:53:52.

• DRS transaction records

  Pay-per-use DRS task usage is calculated by the second but billed on an hourly basis. You can check the transaction records against the actual usage. The billed resources are billed separately. For details, see Table 1 (taking DRS replication server as an example).

  Table 1 DRS transaction records

  Service Type	Data Replication Service (DRS)
  Resource Type	DRS Replication Server
  Billing Mode	Pay-per-use
  Expenditure Time	For the period of time from 16:03:02 to 18:53:52 on July 20, 2023, 3 transaction records would be generated for the resource usage in the following periods: 2023/07/20 16:03:02 ~ 2023/07/20 17:00:00 2023/07/20 17:00:00 ~ 2023/07/20 18:00:00 2023/07/20 18:00:00 ~ 2023/07/20 18:53:52
  List Price	List price on the official website = Usage x Unit price The DRS resource was used for 3,418 seconds in the first period, and the unit price can be obtained on the DRS Price Calculator page. The list price for the first period = (3,418 ÷ 3,600) x 0.35 = $0.33230556 USD. Similarly, you can calculate the resource list price for the other periods.
  Discounted Amount	Discounts offered for cloud services, for example, commercial discounts, partner authorized discounts, and promotional discounts. It is the discounted amount based on the list price.
  Truncated Amount	Huawei Cloud billing is calculated to the 8th decimal place. However, the amount due is truncated to the 2nd decimal place. The third and later decimal places are referred to as the truncated amounts. Take the first period as an example. The truncated amount is $0.00230556 USD.
  Amount Due	Amount due = List price – Discount amount – Truncated amount Take the first period as an example. If the discount amount is 0, the amount due is $0.33 USD (0.33230556 - 0 - 0.00230556).

• DRS bill details

  Bill details can display in multiple ways. By default, the bill details of a resource are displayed by usage and by billing cycle. Table 2 illustrates the DRS task bill details, which can be used to check against the actual usage (taking DRS replication server as an example).

  Table 2 DRS bill details

  Service Type	Data Replication Service (DRS)
  Resource Type	DRS Replication Server
  Billing Mode	Pay-per-use
  Resource Name/ID	Specifies DRS task name and ID.
  Specifications	Medium (y2y)
  Usage Type	Duration for a pay-per-use DRS task
  Unit Price	When pay-per-use billing is used, the unit price is only provided if the amount is equal to the usage multiplied by the unit price. No unit price is provided in other pricing modes, for example, tiered pricing. You can search for the unit price for pay-per-use DRS tasks on the DRS Price Calculator page.
  Unit	Displayed on the DRS Price Calculator page. Example: USD/hour
  Usage	Depends on the unit of the unit price, which is USD/hour. Usage is billed by the hour. Example: 2.8472222222 hours.
  Usage Unit	Hour
  List Price	List price on the official website = Usage x Unit price The DRS task is used for 2.8472222222 hours in total, and the unit price is obtained on the DRS Price Calculator page. The list price = 2.8472222222 x 0.35 = $0.99652777777 USD.
  Discounted Amount	Discounts offered for cloud services, for example, commercial discounts, partner authorized discounts, and promotional discounts. It is the discounted amount based on the list price.
  Amount Due	Amount that should be paid for used cloud services after discounts are applied.
