IPv6 Gateway:IPv6 gateway billing

Last Updated:Jun 03, 2026

IPv6 Internet bandwidth uses pay-as-you-go billing with two methods: pay-by-bandwidth and pay-by-data-transfer.

Choose a billing method based on your required peak bandwidth and average bandwidth utilization.

Consider the average bandwidth utilization:

  • Below 20% utilization: use pay-by-data-transfer.

  • Above 35% utilization: use pay-by-bandwidth.

  • 20%–35% utilization: choose based on your operational experience.

IPv6 Internet bandwidth is billed separately from IPv4. IPv4 rates are listed in Internet bandwidth billing.

Pay-by-bandwidth

You are charged based on the peak bandwidth you specify and the billing duration.

  • Billing cycle: one day. Partial days are billed as full days.

  • The Internet bandwidth fee uses tiered pricing based on a 5 Mbps threshold.

    • If the peak bandwidth is from 1 Mbps to 5 Mbps:

      Bandwidth fee = (Unit price for bandwidth from 1 to 5 Mbps) (USD/Mbps/day) × [Billing duration (hours) / 24] (days) × Peak bandwidth (Mbps)
    • If the peak bandwidth is greater than 5 Mbps:

      Bandwidth fee = [(Unit price for bandwidth from 1 to 5 Mbps) (USD/Mbps/day) × 5 + (Unit price for bandwidth greater than 5 Mbps) (USD/Mbps/day) × (n - 5)] × [Billing duration (hours) / 24] (days)

      Where n is the peak bandwidth.

  • You can change the peak bandwidth at any time. Within a billing cycle, you are billed at the highest peak bandwidth set during that cycle.

If the console shows different regions or prices, the console prevails.

Pay-by-data-transfer

Important
  • If you have activated Cloud Data Transfer (CDT), IPv6 Internet bandwidth fees are billed through CDT. CDT billing rules: Internet traffic and Cross-region traffic.

  • If you have not activated CDT, IPv6 Internet bandwidth is billed according to this document. To switch to CDT billing, go to the Cloud Data Transfer page.

In a billing cycle, Traffic fee = Unit price of traffic (USD/GB) × Traffic usage (GB)
  • Billing and settlement cycle: one hour. Partial hours are billed as full hours.

  • Only outbound data transfer from your IPv6 address is billed. Inbound transfer is free.

  • You can use a Data Transfer Plan to offset pay-by-data-transfer IPv6 Internet bandwidth.

  • Changing the peak bandwidth does not affect the unit price. To avoid unexpected charges from programming errors or malicious traffic, set a bandwidth limit that matches your actual needs.

  • Regional data transfer fees:

    If the console shows different regions or prices, the console prevails.

Overdue payments

Overdue payment suspension policy for pay-as-you-go:

  • After a payment becomes overdue, the instance runs for 15 more days before suspension.

    Billing stops after the instance is suspended.

  • If payment remains overdue 15 days after suspension, the instance is released.

    An email reminder is sent one day before release. After release, all configurations and data are permanently deleted and unrecoverable.
