Example: A user in the China (Beijing) region has a General-purpose Capacity NAS file system. In January 2021, the file system's data usage remains constant at 1,000 GiB per hour. A 500 GiB storage plan is attached to the file system. The user also has two 100 GiB General-purpose NAS resource plans. The monthly bill is calculated as follows:
Usage: (1,000 GiB - 500 GiB - 100 GiB - 100 GiB) × 31 days × 24 hours = 223,200 GiB-hours
Resource plan deduction: (100 GiB + 100 GiB) × 1,024 = 204,800 MiB
List price: 223,200 GiB-hours × USD 0.00008065/GiB/hour = USD 18
Total monthly fee: USD 18 + USD 22.85 + USD 4.57 + USD 4.57 = USD 49.99
USD 22.85 is the fee for a one-month, 500 GiB Capacity storage plan. USD 4.57 is the fee for each one-month, 100 GiB General-purpose NAS resource plan.
file system is a region-level resource. The file system list in the NAS console only displays resources in the currently selected region. If Apsara File Storage NAS charges appear in your bill but you cannot find the corresponding resource in the file system list of the current region, you may have created a file system in another region (including the China (Hong Kong) region and regions outside the Chinese mainland). You can troubleshoot this issue by using the following methods:
Switch regions in the NAS console and check the File System list in each region until you find the file system that matches the charge.
In Bill Details, record the instance (resource) ID that incurred charges. Then switch the region and compare it with the file system ID/name column in the file system list to identify the specific file system that incurred charges and the region to which it belongs.
By performing the preceding troubleshooting, you can avoid misjudging bill amounts due to overlooking resources in other regions.
