The relay feature pulls and pushes contents. You can use relay to quickly pull existing videos or live streaming contents and then push them to the destination URL, without initiating a live streaming session. This feature is billed by the relay task duration and the usage of push to third-party URLs.

Notes

• Billing rules for relay have taken effect since 00:00, July 1, 2021. Relay tasks executed after that will incur costs, regardless of when such tasks are created.
• When you are using relay, pulling will generate playback traffic/bandwidth usage. Pulling from source URLs of CSS, VOD, COS, etc. will incur corresponding playback fees as well as download fees.

Relay Task Duration

A relay task is billed by duration.

Billing

Note：

If pulling fails due to abnormal source contents, the relay task will not stop until the specified end time, and the corresponding task duration will be billed.

Push to Third-Party URLs
