Billing example
Assume you create a General-purpose production studio instance in the Chinese mainland, with 720P output and one 480P transcoding output. On June 17, you use the studio for 100 minutes.
Per the Pricing table, the 720P output unit price is USD 0.050/minute, and the 480P transcoding unit price is USD 0.0097/minute.
The June 17 bill is 0.050 × 100 + 0.0097 × 100 = 5.97 USD. The bill is generated after 00:00 on June 18 and fees are automatically deducted.
