The page shows daily pay-as-you-go consumption for each billing item. Use the following filters to segment your data:
-
Asset Name/Resource Instance ID (Billing Granularity): The billing unit for each item. MaxCompute pay-as-you-go has three granularities:
-
Standard computing, storage, and download items: billed daily per item, at the Project + Region level.
-
Spot Edition computing items (Spot jobs): billed daily per item, at the Project + Region level.
-
Elastic Reserved CU items: billed hourly, at the primary quota + Region level.
-
-
Fee Type: The pay-as-you-go billing item generating the charge (for example, computing, storage, download, or quota).
The following table describes how Usage is measured for each billing item and lists the public cloud unit price.
