          Overview of Billing Items

          Overview

          The billing items of the BOS service include storage costs, traffic costs, request costs, and data processing costs. Each item will have a different billing price based on your usage.

          Charging Mode

          BOS currently provides two billing forms: bill-by-traffic and prepaid resource pack. After you activate the BOS service and upload data, if you do not purchase a prepaid resource pack, the system will bill by traffic by default. If you do not perform any operations after activating the BOS service, BOS will not charge you. For the billing price of bill-by-traffic and prepaid resource packs, please refer to On-demand Billing Price and Resource Pack Billing .

          All billing items of BOS are billed on a per-minute push basis, and relevant expenses are billed every hour. You can view it in the console "Finance-Billing Details" Detailed Flow and Resource Bills.

          Billing Item Type

          The billing items of the BOS service include four types of billing items, i.e. storage costs, traffic costs, request costs, and data processing costs. And each item contains different sub-billing items. When you use the service corresponding to a certain billing sub-item, the corresponding price will be generated. If you do not use the service corresponding to the billing item, then that item will not be charged.

          Billing formula

          BOS bill total cost = storage cost unit price × usage duration + request cost unit price x usage specifications + traffic cost unit price x usage specifications + data processing cost unit price x usage specifications
