If you enable public network access for a Serverless instance, you must modify your SDK code. For more information, see Version Guide for Public Network Access for Serverless Instances.
Billable items
ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ serverless instances are billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. Billing begins upon instance creation, and bills are generated hourly.
The billable items are as follows:
Message requests fee
A messaging fee applies when an ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ serverless instance uses the pay-by-messaging-request billing method.
Billing formula
Message requests fee = Total number of message requests × Unit price per request (USD/request)
Message Send/Receive Count Calculation Rules
Number of message requests = Number of received messages + Number of delivered messages
Number of received messages: The number of messages that the server-side receives from producers. For example, if the server-side receives five messages for a topic, the number of received messages is five.
Number of delivered messages: The number of times the server-side delivers messages to consumers. Each successful delivery to a consumer counts as one delivery request, regardless of whether the consumer processes the message or returns an ACK response.
Payload size: The number of delivery requests is calculated based on the message size in 4 KB blocks. A message smaller than 4 KB counts as 4 KB. For example, delivering an 18 KB message results in ⌈18/4⌉ = 5 delivery requests.
Note⌈ ⌉ indicates rounding up.
Tiered pricing
The unit price for message requests for serverless instances varies by region. The following tables list the prices.

Billing example
Assume that you have a shared Serverless instance in the China (Hangzhou) region. The billing method is Provisioned + Elastic, and the provisioned capacity is 4,000 TPS. The hourly provisioned capacity fee is calculated as follows: 2,000 × 0.000135 + (4,000 - 2,000) × 0.000113 = USD 0.496. The fee for one month (30 days) is then calculated as follows: 0.496 × 24 × 30 = USD 357.12.
Elastic TPS fee
If an ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ serverless instance uses the Provisioned + Elastic billing method, an elastic TPS fee is charged for any TPS usage exceeding the provisioned capacity.
Billing formula

Billing example
Assume that you have a shared serverless instance in the China (Hangzhou) region. The billing method is Provisioned + Elastic, and the provisioned capacity is 5,000 TPS. In a specific hour, the instance runs as follows:
Time | Minute 00 | Minute 01 | Minute 02 | Minute 03 | ...... | Minute 58 | 59 points |
Peak actual TPS of the instance (requests/second) | 5200 | 5300 | 4000 | 4500 | All less than 5,000 | 4800 | 5100 |
Incremental TPS value (requests/second) | 200 | 300 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 100 |
In this hour, the elastic TPS fee for the instance is calculated as follows: (1 × 200 + 1 × 300 + 1 × 100) × 0.000019 = USD 0.0114.
Online Client Count Fee
Counting rule for online clients
One producer or one consumer object counts as one online client.
Billing formula
If the number of online clients for an instance exceeds the free quota, you are charged for the excess clients. The fee is calculated as follows. Usage for less than one hour is rounded up to one hour:
Online client fee = Number of billable online clients × Unit price per client (USD/client/hour)
