This topic describes the billable items, pricing, and impact of overdue payments on resources of Container Registry Personal Edition and Enterprise Edition.

Billable items of Container Registry Enterprise Edition

Billable item Description Pricing
Instance Container Registry Enterprise Edition instances support the subscription billing method. The prices of Enterprise Edition instances vary based on instance specifications. See the Pricing of Container Registry Enterprise Edition instances section in this topic.
OSS Bucket

If you use Object Storage Service (OSS) buckets to store cloud-native application artifacts of Container Registry Enterprise Edition instances, you may be charged for the storage or traffic. Examples of cloud-native application artifacts include container images and Helm charts.

If you do not enable access over the Internet, you can pull application artifacts only by using virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoints. In this case, you are not charged for the outbound traffic over the Internet in OSS.

By default, you are billed for the OSS service on a pay-as-you-go basis. You can also purchase resource plans to offset the bills of the OSS service if your business workloads are stable.

Important Container Registry allows you to replicate images of Container Registry Enterprise Edition instances across regions. The replication process does not generate traffic costs in OSS.
See Object Storage Service Pricing.

Pricing of Container Registry Personal Edition instances

Container Registry Personal Edition is provided to individual developers. Individual developers are allocated a limited free quota during the public preview period. Alibaba Cloud does not make compensation in accordance with the service level agreement (SLA) for Container Registry Personal Edition.

Impact of overdue payments on resources

If the total value of the balance, vouchers, and coupons in your Alibaba Cloud account is less than the payable amount of your bill, your account has overdue payments.

  • The overdue payment does not exceed the overdraft limit

    Your service will not be affected.
    Note Alibaba Cloud provides an extended suspension quota. If the overdue payment for pay-as-you-go resources does not exceed the quota, your services are not suspended. Resources used in the extended period are billed as usual. The extended suspension quota is not the maximum outstanding amount due that is allowed. The extended suspension quota is automatically calculated and updated on a monthly basis based on the consumption records of your Alibaba Cloud account. For more information, see Service suspension protection.

  • Payment overdue for no more than 7 days

    When the balance in your Alibaba Cloud account is insufficient to pay the amount in your bills and the Container Registry instance is in the Overdue state, you cannot deploy or create new application instances, or perform operations such as deploying or restarting existing instances or changing specifications of the instances. However, instances on which applications have been built can still be used within seven days (168 hours) and are continuously billed.

  • Payment overdue for more than 7 days

    If you do not settle the overdue payment in seven days (168 hours) after the payment becomes overdue, Alibaba Cloud suspends the Container Registry service for you. All application instances that you created on Container Registry are released, and instance data is deleted and cannot be restored.
