Example
Assume that you have created a Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) instance that connects two regions in the Chinese mainland, CDT is activated, and the service level is Gold. Your data transfers between the two regions in the Chinese mainland are 200 GB. The price reduction helps you effectively save costs.
Fee before the adjustment: USD 0.09/GB × 200 GB = USD 18
Fee after the adjustment: USD 0.072/GB × 200 GB = USD 14.4. Cost savings of USD 3.6, about a 20% decrease.
