Pay-per-Use to Package

After you purchase a package for an OCR API and pay for the order, the package will take effect immediately (assuming no specified effective time), charging the billing mode from pay-per-use to package.

Assume that you subscribed to a pay-per-use OCR service at 15:29:16 on April 18, 2023 and purchased a package at 16:30:30 on the same day, the package would take effect immediately. The Billing Center > Billing page will display the following three detailed bills:

  • Pay-per-use: April 18, 2023, at 15:00:00 to April 18, 2023, at 16:00:00, incurred costs between 15:29:16 and 16:00:00
  • Pay-per-use: April 18, 2023, at 16:00:00 to April 18, 2023, at 17:00:00, incurred costs between 16:00:00 and 16:30:30
  • Package: April 18, 2023, at 16:30:30
