The following table describes how the resource usage fee is billed.
Features | Rule |
Billing cycle and bill generation time | Monthly The billing cycle is based in the UTC+8 time zone, and is accurate to the second. Each billing cycle starts from the time when the service is activated or renewed and ends at 00:00:00 on the day after the expiration date. If the service is renewed before it expires, the next billing cycle starts when the previous billing cycle ends. After a billing cycle ends, bills are generated on the first day of the following calendar month. For example, you created an Express Connect circuit at 13:00:00 on August 9, 2022. The initial subscription duration is one month, and you manually renewed the circuit for one month before it expires.
