Query instance consumption summary by using DescribeInstanceBill - Expenses and Costs - Alibaba Cloud - Expenses and Costs

Queries the consumption summary of all product instances or billable items for a user within a specific billing cycle.

Operation description

The query results for the current month are for reference only and cannot be used as the basis for reconciliation. The final bill for the current month can be viewed or exported after 12:00 on the 3rd day of the next month. During the month, a few scenarios may occur, including but not limited to delayed billing, refunds, bill adjustments, and overdue payment write-offs.
The bill data for the current month does not include unsettled pay-as-you-go data that is unbilled or accumulating.
Data for the last 18 months is supported.
Bill data is updated with a 24-hour delay compared to actual consumption. Information related to the instance ID, such as instance configuration, instance type, instance alias, resource group, public IP address, private IP address, and zone, is updated with a 48-hour delay.
Bill data does not provide the specific costs of individual split items, such as domain names, buckets, and EIPs, for split-type cloud services, such as CDN, OSS, and Internet Shared Bandwidth. To view data that includes split items, go to the split bill page.
For cloud communication products, only detail data from June 2020 onwards is supported. For HiChina products, including domain names and trademarks, only detail data from November 2020 onwards is supported.
The rate limit is 10 requests per second per user. If a timeout occurs, retry the request.

- For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.
Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.
