Billing examples

Important

The following examples are for reference only. Actual costs are determined by console or purchase page prices.

General computing resources example

Scenario:

Purchase two ecs.g7.xlarge-4c16g instances in China (Shanghai). Node unit price: USD 78.94/month.
Calculation:

Node fee = Node unit price × Quantity × Subscription duration = 78.94 × 2 × 1 = USD 157.88

Lingjun resources example

Subscription

Scenario:

Purchase two ml.gu7xf.c96m1600.8-gu108 instances in China North 6 (Ulanqab) for one month. Unit price: USD 23,932.70/month (refer to purchase page for actual price).
Calculation:

Compute node fee = Node unit price × Quantity × Subscription duration = 23,932.70 × 2 × 1 = USD 47,865.40

Pay-as-you-go

Scenario:

Purchase one ml.gu7xf.8xlarge-gu108 instance in China North 6 (Ulanqab) and use it for 45 minutes. Unit price: USD 0.73/minute (refer to purchase page for actual price).
Calculation:

Compute node fee = Node unit price (USD/minute) × Quantity × Usage duration (minutes) = 0.73 × 1 × 45 = USD 32.85
