OSS data indexing builds custom indexes on object metadata for fast, flexible object retrieval. Indexing supports two search modes — scalar search and vector search — each billed separately.
Important
Both scalar search and vector search incur metadata management fees. Scalar search and vector search API calls are billed separately based on the number of requests.
For current prices, see OSS Pricing.
Billable items
Metadata management fee — Data Management (scalar search)
Incurred when you enable the scalar search mode for data indexing.

| Billing basis | Number of files |
| Billing cycle | Hourly |
| Billing method | Pay-as-you-go only (resource plan not supported) |
| Free quota | 20,000 files per UID per region per month |
Formula:
Metadata management fee = Number of files × Unit price for metadata managementMetadata management fee — Content Management (vector search)
Incurred when you enable the vector search mode for data indexing. The billable file count is calculated differently for each file type.
| Item | Detail |

| Billing basis | Billable file count |
| Billing cycle | Hourly |
| Billing method | Pay-as-you-go only (resource plan not supported) |

Formula:
Metadata management fee = Billable file count for a single file × Unit price for metadata managementBillable file count by file type
| File type | Billable file count for a single file |
|---|---|
| Video | Ceil(Actual size of a single file / 1 MB) × 0.5 |
| Audio | Ceil(Actual size of a single file / 1 MB) × 5 |
| Document | Ceil(Actual size of a single file / 1 MB) × 5 |
| Other | 1 |
Note: Ceil indicates rounding up to the nearest integer. For example, if a file is 1.3 MB in size, Ceil(1.3) = 2.
