Example of how data usage (in mainland China) is billed on an hourly basis
From May 1 to May 15, the total amount of data usage is 51200 GB. The price rate is 0.04 USD per GB ( 0 GB – 50 TB pricing tier ).
From 00:00:00 on May 16 to 01:00:00 on May 16, the total amount of data usage is 1000 GB.
The remaining 1000 GB falls into the 50 TB – 100 TB pricing tier. The price rate is USD 0.03 per GB.
The total fee for the 52200 GB of data usage is: 51200 GB ×USD 0.04 + 1000 GB × USD 0.03 = USD 2078
Note:
The bill is issued after the billing cycle ends. Typically, the bill is issued approximately three hours after the billing cycle ends. The system determines when bills are issued. After a bill is issued, relevant fees are automatically deducted from the balance in your account.
The conversion rate between a smaller data storage unit and a larger unit is 1024. For example, 1 GB equals 1024 MB.
Note: To avoid causing a loss to users due to abnormal and malicious traffic, the upper bandwidth limit for Pay-By-Traffic is set to 10 Gbps by default. To change the billing method, submit a ticket or contact your business manager.
