Billing Examples

Billing Scenario 1: Free of Charge

LTS provides a free quota of 500 MB/month.

Assume that a server generates 10 MB raw logs per day, full-text indexing is enabled, intelligent cold storage is disabled, and the standard storage duration is set to seven days (logs from day 1 will be deleted on day 8). After LTS is used for 30 days, the billing details are as shown in Table 1.

For the differences between standard storage and cold storage, see Intelligent Cold Storage.

Unit prices in this example are used for reference only, and the calculated prices are only estimates. As unit prices may change from time to time, the actual fee may differ from this example. For up-to-date pricing, see the Price Calculator.

Read/Write traffic

Daily read/write traffic: 10 MB/5 (compression rate) = 2 MB. Accumulated read/write traffic for 30 days: 30 x 2 MB = 60 MB.

60 MB

Free

Index traffic

Accumulated index traffic for 30 days: 10 MB x 30 = 300 MB

For details about index traffic, see Billing Items.

300 MB

Standard storage volume

7 x 10 MB = 70 MB

Billing Scenario 2: Disabling Full-Text Indexing and Enabling the Field Indexing

Assume a server generates 100 GB of raw logs daily. These logs are written to LTS with full-text indexing disabled and indexing enabled for five specific fields (with a total data volume of 50 GB).

The standard storage duration is set to 30 days (logs from day 1 will be deleted on day 31). After LTS is used for 30 days, the billing details are as shown in Table 2.

Unit prices in this example are used for reference only, and the calculated prices are only estimates. As unit prices may change from time to time, the actual fee may differ from this example. For up-to-date pricing, see the Price Calculator.

Read/Write traffic

Daily read/write traffic: 100 GB/5 (compression rate) = 20 GB. Accumulated read and write traffic for 30 days: 20 GB x 30 = 600 GB.

600 GB

$0.05 USD/GB

(600 GB – 500 MB/1,024) x 0.05 = $29.98 USD

Index traffic

50 GB x 30 = 1,500 GB

For details about index traffic, see Billing Items.

1,500 GB

$0.08 USD/GB

(1,500 GB – 500 MB free quota/1,024) x 0.08 = $119.96 USD

Standard storage volume

100 GB/day x 30 days = 3,000 GB

3,000 GB

$0.000125 USD/GB-hour

(3,000 GB – 500 MB free quota/1,024) x 0.000125 x 24 hours x 30 days = $269.96 USD
