Resource plans offer discounted rates. Function Compute consolidates all resource usage into a single billable item: CU usage. After you purchase a CU resource plan, all resource usage is converted to CU usage based on a conversion factor and deducted from your plan.
Plan types and pricing
Function Compute offers the following five tiers of CU resource plans. After purchase, Function Compute converts all usage — function invocations, vCPU, memory, disk, and GPU (including GPU usage generated by FunArt) — to CU usage based on a conversion factor and deducts it from your CU resource plan.
CU usage = Resource usage × CU conversion factor. Conversion factors are listed in CU conversion factors.

ICP filing service codes
CU resource plans of 100 yuan or more include a free ICP filing service code. Log in to the ICP Filing Service console to view available ICP filings on the Function Compute Plan tab of the Manage ICP Filable Instances page, and use a service code from a resource plan for ICP filing.
Validity period
All resource plans are valid for 12 months from the purchase date. Unused quota is forfeited upon expiration.
Plans take effect on the purchase date. Unused quota is forfeited upon expiration. After a plan expires or its quota runs out, usage is billed at Pay-as-you-go rates.
Deduction order
Charges are first deducted from resource plans (including trial quotas), then billed at Pay-as-you-go rates. Plans expiring soonest are consumed first.

Do resource plans support auto-renewal? If so, can I disable it?
-
Why is a zero-amount bill generated even after my resource plan has offset my usage?
When your Function Compute resource usage is fully offset by a CU resource plan, the actual amount due is zero. However, the system still generates a zero-amount bill, which is expected billing behavior. If you no longer need Function Compute resources in that region, log on to the Function Compute console and delete the relevant functions to stop resource usage and prevent further bill generation.
-
Why do I still receive expiration reminder messages or calls when my plan quota is used up or my functions are deleted?
This can occur in the following scenarios:
-
Quota exhausted early — CU resource plans use a total-deduction model. If your quota runs out before the validity period ends, the system still sends expiration reminders as the plan's expiration date approaches. Log on to the Expenses and Costs console to check your remaining quota and expiration date.
-
Functions deleted — Deleting functions stops new charges from accruing. The reminder is about your resource plan expiring, not the Function Compute service stopping. If you have no running functions, you can safely ignore the reminder. The plan expires automatically at the end of its validity period.
-
Concept clarification — Function Compute itself is a pay-as-you-go service with no fixed service expiration. All "expiration" notifications refer to CU resource plans purchased in your account, not the Function Compute service itself.

-
How can I reduce CU consumption during development and testing?
CU consumption in Function Compute is determined by actual resource usage. You cannot directly lower the CU conversion factor for individual invocations through configuration settings. During development and testing, select a CU resource plan that matches your estimated usage — such as a monthly plan or a smaller annual plan — to optimize costs and avoid purchasing an oversized plan.
