Billing Overview

Tencent Cloud provides high-quality multi-line BGP networks to ensure an optimal network experience.
Tencent Cloud currently provides two billing plans: bill-by-traffic and bill-by-bandwidth.

Note：

• The public network fee is billed based on outbound bandwidth/traffic. The outbound bandwidth refers to the bandwidth from the CVM to the public network. For example, the user uses the client to download CVM instance resources.
• To avoid unexpected costs due to traffic surges, you can set a bandwidth cap. Any traffic over the cap will be dropped and will not incur any costs.

Billing Plans

The following tables compare the payment methods, billing cycles, and use cases of the two different billing plans:

• Calculating usage based on traffic (GB):

  Billing Plan	Payment Method	Billing Cycle	Use Cases
  By traffic	Postpaid	Hourly	Suitable for scenarios where the peak business traffic fluctuates greatly at varying times.

• Calculating usage based on bandwidth (Mbps):

• The peak bandwidths of the bill-by-traffic billing plan and the bill-by-bandwidth billing plan are different. See the table below for details.

  Bill-by-traffic	Bill-by-bandwidth
  The peak bandwidth is only regarded as the maximum peak bandwidth, and not as the fixed bandwidth. In case of resource contention, the peak bandwidth may be limited.	The peak bandwidth is regarded as the fixed bandwidth. In case of resource contention, the peak bandwidth will be guaranteed and will not be limited.
