Billing examples
Site monitoring - PCs
You purchase a resource plan with 2,000,000 detection requests and create a site monitoring task on June 1, 2024. The task sends requests to detection points in 20 regions of China Mobile, 10 regions of Amazon Web Services (AWS), and 5 LastMile detection points in China at a frequency of every 5 minutes.
Remaining detection requests on July 1, 2024:
China Mobile requests = 60 / 5 x 24 x 30 x 20 = 172,800
AWS requests = 60 / 5 x 24 x 30 x 10 = 86,400
LastMile requests = 60 / 5 x 24 x 30 x 5 = 43,200
Remaining = 2,000,000 - 172,800 - 86,400 x 5 - 43,200 x 20 = 531,200
Site monitoring - Mobile devices
You purchase a resource plan with 1,000,000 detection requests and create a site monitoring task on August 1, 2023. The task sends requests to mobile detection points in 2 regions of China Mobile at a frequency of every 5 minutes.
Remaining detection requests on September 1:
China Mobile requests = 60 / 5 x 24 x 31 x 2 = 17,856
Remaining = 1,000,000 - 17,856 x 36 = 357,184
Browser detection
You purchase a resource plan with 1,000,000 detection requests and create a browser detection task on July 1, 2023. The task sends requests to detection points in the China (Shanghai) region of Alibaba Cloud and the UK (London) region of Alibaba Cloud at a frequency of every 5 minutes.
Remaining detection requests on August 1:
China (Shanghai) requests = 60 / 5 x 24 x 31 x 1 = 8,928
UK (London) requests = 60 / 5 x 24 x 31 x 1 = 8,928
Remaining = 1,000,000 - 8,928 x 10 - 8,928 x 50 = 464,320
