Billing example

Scenario: The live center of User A is in Singapore. User A uses automated review to process 66,000 images on August 17, 2021. 30,000 images are reviewed for pornographic content, and 36,000 images are reviewed for ad violations.

Pricing:

  • 36,000 images reviewed for ad violations, the unit price is USD 0.454 per 1,000 images.

Automated review fees that are generated on August 17, 2021: USD 0.45 × (30,000/1,000) + USD 0.454 × (36,000/1,000) = USD 29.844. The bills are generated after 00:00 on August 18, 2021, and the fees are automatically deducted.
