Description

Scenarios

Subscription is mainly suitable for the following business scenarios:

  • Long-term stable usage: When you expect to use the product for a longer period with relatively stable requirements, the subscription model can provide a more cost-effective solution. For example: long-running Spark Streaming tasks, or Kyuubi and Livy services that need to be deployed for a long time.

  • Clear budget planning: For users with clear budget planning, the upfront payment model can help you better control costs and avoid uncertainties caused by usage fluctuations.

Billing rules

The total price of a subscription quota for a single workspace is: Computing resource CU quantity * Computing resource unit price * Subscription duration.

Important

The subscription duration in this formula is measured in months. Please refer to the final bill for the actual settlement amount.

For example, in the Singapore region, the computing resource unit price is USD 32.21/CU/month. If the subscription quota for a workspace is 100 CUs with a subscription duration of 6 months, the subscription quota fee for the current workspace is 100 CU * 32.21 USD/CU/month * 6 months = USD 19,326.

Billing cycle

The billing cycle for a workspace subscription quota is based on the duration you purchase (based on UTC+8 time). The starting point of a billing cycle is the time when you activate or renew the workspace (accurate to the second), and the endpoint is 00:00:00 on the day after the expiration date.

Renewal policy

If you want to continue using the subscription quota after the current billing cycle expires, you can do so through the renewal operation. For more information about renewal, see Renewal policy.

Note
  • If you do not renew in time, tasks submitted to subscription payment type queues in the workspace will stop running. To avoid affecting your business, make sure to renew in time.

  • If your account has an overdue payment, automatic renewal will be affected. You need to recharge your account and manually renew.

Refund policy

Subscription quotas require upfront payment based on the purchase duration. If you no longer need the subscription quota due to business requirement changes, you can unsubscribe through Expenses and Costs. For more information, see Refund policy.

Resource scale-out

After purchasing a subscription quota, you can increase the resource quota based on your business needs to expand resources. For more information, see Edit subscription quota.

The following tables list the prices for different types of workspaces in various regions.

  • More favorable discounts are available when you purchase a subscription for one year or longer.
