Operation description

Estimates resource usage of the current month based on the metering method that is specified on the first day of the current month. This operation estimates resource usage only of the current month within your Alibaba Cloud account. The time range used for the estimation starts at 00:00 on the first day of the current month and ends 2 hours earlier than the current time.

Pay by monthly 95th percentile: The top 5% values between the start time and end time are excluded. The estimated value is the highest value among the remaining values.
Pay by average daily peak bandwidth per month: Estimated value = Sum of daily peak bandwidth values/Number of days. The current day is excluded.
Pay by 4th peak bandwidth per month: The estimated value is the 4th peak bandwidth value between the start time and end time. If the time range is less than four days, the estimated value is 0.
Pay by average daily 95th percentile bandwidth per month: Estimated value = Sum of daily 95th percentile bandwidth values/Number of days. The current day is excluded.
Pay by 95th percentile bandwidth with 50% off from 00:00 to 08:00: The top 5% values between the start time and end time are excluded. The estimated value is the highest value among the remaining values.

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.

StartTime	string	No	The start time of the estimation. The default value is 00:00 on the first day of the current month. Specify the time in the ISO 8601 standard in the yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ format. The time must be in UTC.	2018-09-30T16:00:00Z
EndTime	string	No	The end time of the estimation. The default value is the current time. Specify the time in the ISO 8601 standard in the yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ format. The time must be in UTC. Note The end time must be later than the start time.	2018-10-25T10:00:00Z
Dimension	string	No	The billable item. A value of flow specifies bandwidth.	flow
Area	string	No	The billable region. Valid values: CN: the Chinese mainland OverSeas: outside the Chinese mainland AP1: Asia Pacific 1 AP2: Asia Pacific 2 AP3: Asia Pacific 3 NA: North America SA: South America EU: Europe MEAA: Middle East and Africa By default, the value of this parameter is determined by the metering method that is currently used. Regions inside and outside the Chinese mainland are classified into the CN and OverSeas billable regions. Billable regions inside the Chinese mainland include CN. Billable regions outside the Chinese mainland include AP1, AP2, AP3, NA, SA, EU, and MEAA. Note For more information about billable regions, see Billable regions.	CN,OverSeas
