﻿
Visual Understanding - Times
Calls a VLM to understand and analyze image or video content, and is billed by the number of analysis requests actually sent to the model. Image mode: Performs understanding and analysis on a single image, with each image counted as 1 request, so the number of analysis requests = the number of images. Video mode: The platform first extracts frames from the video at a specified frame rate (FPS) to generate an image sequence, then performs understanding and analysis on each frame, with each frame counted as 1 request, so the number of analysis requests = the video duration in seconds × FPS.
Day
Settles and generates bills for the fees incurred on the previous day on a daily basis.

Product Pricing
Pay-as-you-go pricing: Unit prices for each billable item in public cloud regions are listed by category. For details, see Pay-as-you-go (Postpaid).
Viewing Consumption Details
Daily bills are generated at around 08:00 the next day (the billing system may have some delay). You can view bills or top up your account in the Billing Center.
Available balance: The balance that can be used to purchase cloud services. Available balance = Total account amount (cash recharge balance + transferred earnings balance + platform gifted balance) − Temporarily frozen amount.
Cash recharge balance: The cash balance recharged through online top-up or offline remittance.
Temporarily frozen amount: Frozen funds are not actually consumed and cannot be used while frozen. They become available again after unfreezing. This product does not currently have a freezing mechanism.
Overdue payment amount: The amount owed by the account for using cloud services, excluding the advanced payments that have not been recovered. The system deducts the platform gifted balance and transferred earnings balance first, and then deducts the cash recharge balance. For details, see Overdue Payment Description.
