Storage fee formula:
Daily storage usage fee = monthly unit price for storage usage ÷ 30 × daily storage usage.
Daily storage usage = sum of the "storage usage every 5 minutes" for the day ÷ 288 (number of sampling points).
Request fee formula:
Request fee = unit price per 10,000 requests × daily cumulative number of requests ÷ 10,000
Note:
File access request fees (read and write) for managed storage are not currently charged. If fees are introduced in the future, advance notice will be provided. Metadata management fees and data optimization fees are not currently charged. If fees are introduced in the future, advance notice will be provided.
