You are billed for your actual usage. A bill is generated for each billing cycle, and the fees are deducted from your account. Synthetic Monitoring provides a monthly free quota of 3,000 probes for PC-side Internet Data Center (IDC) and Lastmile monitoring points. Note
The free quota cannot be used for mobile monitoring points or Elastic Compute Service (ECS) host monitoring. |
Billing cycle
ARMS uses a daily billing cycle. Starting at 00:00 each day, ARMS calculates the previous day's resource consumption. Bills are typically generated the following morning, and fees are automatically deducted from your account if your balance is sufficient. You can view your bills on the Expenses and Costs page and check your resource usage in the ARMS console. For more information, see Resource usage and bills.
Bill generation may be delayed. The actual generation time is subject to the system.
