Billing mode: Daily pay-as-you-go
Billing cycle: Daily billing cycle. Traffic fees generated in a day are deducted the next day. For the actual fee deduction and bill generation time, see your billing statement.
The default mode for new users of LVB is bill-by-traffic.
Billing regions outside the Chinese mainland:
The conversion factor for units of traffic/bandwidth is 1,000. For example, 1 TB = 1,000 GB.
A CSS service day is 00:00-23:59 (UTC+08:00).
Starting from 00:00 (UTC+08:00), January 4, 2022, CSS has adjusted the daily billing prices and pricing tiers of LVB’s basic services and billed usage outside the Chinese mainland by region instead of at a unified price. For details, see Notice: CSS to Adjust Prices of Basic Services.
Note:
- By default, fees are billed by downstream usage. However, upstream usage will also be billed if the ratio of upstream usage to downstream usage is larger than 1:10 and the highest upstream bandwidth used in a day exceeds 100 Mbps.
- The same billing method, tiered pricing rules, and billing regions (inside/outside the Chinese mainland) are used for live push and LVB playback. Live push has been billed since 00:00 (UTC+08:00), July 1, 2021.
- Billing example:
Take daily bill-by-traffic for example. Assume that the total upstream and downstream traffic used in a day are 10 GB and 90 GB respectively, and the highest upstream bandwidth used is 101 Mbps. As the ratio of upstream usage to downstream usage is 10:90, which is larger than 1:10, and the peak upstream bandwidth usage is higher than 100 Mbps, the traffic fee would be:
Upstream traffic fees + Downstream traffic fees = 0.0417 (USD/GB/Day) x (10 (GB) + 90 (GB)) = 4.17 USD.
Traffic/Bandwidth usage outside the Chinese mainland is the downstream traffic/bandwidth used when users connect to Tencent Cloud’s acceleration origin servers outside the Chinese mainland. You can choose to be billed by traffic or by bandwidth. The former is used for new users by default.
We bill traffic outside the Chinese mainland by region on a daily basis and adopt a tiered pricing approach. See below for the pricing tiers:
Traffic Tier | Price (USD/GB/Day) | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Asia Pacific 1 | Asia Pacific 2 | Asia Pacific 3 | North America | Europe | Middle East | Africa | South America | |

0.0748 (USD/GB) x 1000 (GB) + 0.0634 (USD/GB) x 6000 (GB) = 445.2 USD.
We bill bandwidth usage outside the Chinese mainland by region on a daily basis and adopt a tiered pricing approach. You are charged for your peak bandwidth usage in a day. See below for the pricing tiers:
Bandwidth Tier | Price (USD/Mbps/Day) | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Asia Pacific 1 | Asia Pacific 2 | Asia Pacific 3 | North America | Europe | Middle East | Africa | South America | |
0-500 Mbps | 0.2049 | 0.6016 | 0.6228 | 0.1984 | 0.1984 | 0.9333 | 0.9333 | 0.8455 |
500 Mbps (inclusive) - 5 Gbps | 0.1854 | 0.5415 | 0.6049 | 0.1805 | 0.1805 | 0.9203 | 0.9203 | 0.8276 |
5 Gbps (inclusive) - 20 Gbps | 0.1707 | 0.4829 | 0.5561 | 0.1681 | 0.1681 | 0.9008 | 0.9008 | 0.8065 |
≥ 20 Gbps | 0.1626 | 0.4228 | 0.5041 | 0.1593 | 0.1593 | 0.8911 | 0.8911 | 0.7967 |
0.1854 (USD/Mbps) x 600 (Mbps) = 111.24 USD.
The LVB service is billed by the downstream traffic/bandwidth used during live streaming. LVB provides two daily pay-as-you-go billing modes: bill-by-traffic and bill-by-bandwidth. You can choose whichever suits your needs.
We bill LVB traffic on a daily basis and adopt a tiered pricing approach. See below for the pricing tiers:
Traffic Tier | Price (USD/GB/Day) |
---|---|
0-2 TB | 0.0423 |
2 TB (inclusive) - 10 TB | 0.0407 |
10 TB (inclusive) - 50 TB | 0.0390 |
50 TB (inclusive) - 100 TB | 0.0358 |
100 TB (inclusive) - 1 PB | 0.0309 |
≥ 1 PB | 0.0260 |
Note:Total playback duration = Daily number of online viewers x Average playback duration per viewer. That is to say, the total playback duration is the same if 1 viewer watches for 60 minutes and 60 viewers watch for 1 minute each.
We bill LVB bandwidth usage on a daily basis and adopt a tiered pricing approach. You are charged for your peak bandwidth usage in a day. See below for the pricing tiers:
Bandwidth Tier | Price (USD/Mbps/Day) |
---|---|
0-500 Mbps | 0.1057 |
500 Mbps (inclusive) - 5 Gbps | 0.1024 |
5 Gbps (inclusive) - 20 Gbps | 0.0992 |
≥ 20 Gbps | 0.0943 |
Note:If you have a large-scale live streaming business and your spending on Tencent Cloud resources has exceeded or is expected to exceed 10,000 USD, then a daily billing mode may not meet your needs. Please contact the Tencent Cloud sales team or submit a ticket for other billing options.
