This document explains how CLB instances are billed.

Billable Items

The CLB cost involves the following four parts: instance fee, public network fee, cross-region binding fee and LCU (Loadbalancer Capacity Unit) fee.

Note

• Only LCU-supported CLB instances will incur LCU usage fees. LCU-supported CLB instances are only available to beta users. To use it, please submit an application.
• Tencent Cloud provides two types of accounts: bill-by-IP and bill-by-CVM. All Tencent Cloud accounts registered after 00:00:00, June 17, 2020 (UTC +8) are bill-by-IP accounts. If you have created an account before that time, you can check your account type at the top of the instance list on the EIP console.
• To use a dedicated CLB instance, please contact your sales rep.

Bill-by-IP Account Billing Description

• If cross-region binding 2.0 is configured and enabled for public network CLB instances, the cross-region binding fee is included in the CNN bill.
• LCU-supported CLB instances incur LCU charges, while shared CLB instances do not.

Bill-by-CVM Account Billing Description

• Private network CLB is free of public network fee but generates instance fee. For more details, see CLB Instance Upgrade and Price Adjustment.
• Public network CLB only generates instance fee. You can purchase public network on CVM. For more details, see Public Network Fee.
