Elastic IP addresses (EIPs) support two line types: BGP (Multi-ISP) and BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro. Both types support the pay-as-you-go and subscription billing methods. You may be charged an association fee when you associate a pay-as-you-go EIP or a subscription EIP with a cloud resource.
- BGP (Multi-ISP) is supported in all regions. BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro is supported only in the China (Hong Kong) and Singapore (Singapore) regions.
- BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro EIPs in the Singapore (Singapore) region support only the pay-as-you-go billing method.

| EIP association fee (not charged when specific conditions are met) |
Whether you are charged an EIP association fee is determined by the number of times
that you associate EIPs in each region with each Alibaba Cloud account.
Notice You are charged an EIP association fee if you first purchased EIPs after 00:00 (UTC+8),
January 15, 2020. If you purchased EIPs before 00:00 (UTC+8), January 15, 2020, you
are not charged an EIP association fee.
You are not charged an association fee if the number of times that you associate EIPs
in each region with each account within one calendar day does not exceed five times
the quota. If the number of times that you associate EIPs exceeds five times the quota,
you are charged USD 0.149 for each additional time. Association fees are calculated and bills are generated
on a daily basis.
Note The quota is equal to the default number of EIPs that can be owned by your Alibaba
Cloud account. For more information about how to view quotas, see View and manage quotas.
For example, if your account can own at most 20 EIPs, you can associate EIPs 100 times in each region within one day free of charge. If you associate EIPs more than 100 times, you are charged USD 0.149 for each additional time. For example, if you associate EIPs 101 times in a region within one day, the association fee is USD 0.149. If you associate EIPs 110 times in a region within one day, the total association fee is USD 1.49. |
