Use DescribeCdnUserBillPrediction to estimate the current month's bill - CDN - Alibaba Cloud - CDN

Predicts the usage data of the current month.

Operation description

Predicts the usage data of the current month. The prediction is calculated based on the billing method on the first day of the month. Only monthly billing methods and user-level predictions are supported. The start time is 00:00:00 on the first day of the month, and the end time is two hours before the current time.

Monthly 95th percentile: the highest point after removing the top 5% of data points between the start time and the end time.
Monthly average daily peak bandwidth: the sum of daily peak bandwidths divided by the number of days. Data of the current day is not included.
Monthly fourth-day peak bandwidth: the fourth highest peak bandwidth within the requested time range. If the requested time range is less than 4 days, the predicted value is 0.
Monthly average daily 95th percentile: the sum of daily 95th percentile peak bandwidths divided by the number of days. Data of the current day is not included.
Nighttime half-price 95th percentile: the highest point after removing the top 5% of data points between the start time and the end time.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.
API: The API that you can call to perform the action.
Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.
Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.
- For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.
- For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.
Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.
Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
