You are charged for each ID Verification call that results in a match (BizCode=1) or a mismatch (BizCode=2). You are not charged for calls that find no matching record (BizCode=3).
If you exit an authentication plan before completing it, the attempt is not counted as a call.
After calling the Initialize API operation, save the returned TransactionId locally to simplify bill reconciliation. For more information about calling ID Verification API operations, see the Developer Guide.
Settlement cycle
ID Verification offers daily settlement. Bills are generated and settled daily.
Each day, ID Verification generates a bill for the previous day's usage. This usage is first deducted from your data transfer plan, if you have one. Any remaining usage (overage) is then charged to your Alibaba Cloud account.
Billing cycle
ID Verification generates a daily bill for the previous day's usage, which typically becomes available within 10 to 12 hours. If your account balance cannot cover the bill, your ID Verification service becomes overdue.
You can view your past bills in Billing Management.
Due to billing delays, your monthly bill in Billing Management may include charges incurred on the last day of the previous month. For example, the bill for January 2023 may cover usage from December 31, 2022, to January 30, 2023.
Overdue payments
If your account becomes overdue, your ID Verification service will be suspended. To resume the service, add funds to pay the outstanding bill.
