Settlement cycle
ID Verification settles daily. A bill for the previous day's usage is generated and settled each calendar day.
The fee is deducted from your Alibaba Cloud account daily. If you have a resource plan, the plan balance is consumed first; any excess is deducted from your account balance.
Billing cycle
A bill for the previous day's usage is generated daily, typically available within 10–12 hours after the day ends. If your account balance is insufficient to cover the bill, your service becomes overdue.
View billing history in the Expenses and Costs console.
Due to billing delays, a monthly bill may include the last day of the previous month. For example, the January 2023 bill may cover December 31, 2022 through January 30, 2023.
Overdue payments
When your account is overdue, ID Verification suspends the service. To resume, settle the outstanding balance by adding funds to your account.
