Metering and Billing
The “Metering and Billing” section introduces the pricing composition and billing methods of US3 object storage service. You can go to Cost Center to view the daily bill details.
Object Storage US3 supports the following billing methods:
-
Postpaid: All billing items are postpaid mode by default. US3 calculates the user’s usage every hour, issues a daily bill, and the bill granularity is specific billing items. Use first, pay later, suitable for scenarios with frequent changes in business volume.
-
Resource pack: A discount deduction package for prepayment mode is supported for some frequently used billing items. During cost settlement, the usage is deducted from the resource pack first. Use after purchase. After the expiry/use of the resource pack, it will automatically convert to postpaid according to usage. It is suitable for scenarios where the business volume is relatively stable.
