Billing Mode
Payment Mode
Use Case
Monthly subscription
Prepaid Billing refers to paying the fees at the time of creating a new instance.
It is suitable for long-term needs with relatively stable business volume. The cost is more moderate compared to the pay-as-you-go billing. The longer the purchase duration, the greater the discount.
Pay-as-you-go
In this postpaid billing mode, you can apply for resources for on-demand use and will be charged based on the actual usage at the billing time.
Note:
Fees are settled hourly. If the resources are used for less than 1 hour, fees are charged based on 1 hour.
It is suitable for instantaneously fluctuating businesses. In this mode, instances can be released immediately after the use to save costs.

Billing for excess backup space beyond the free tier started at 00:00 on July 10, 2022.
