Charge item
Cluster managing fee
For CCE managed clusters, the Master nodes (control plane) are fully created and managed by the container service. Users do not need to maintain or manage the Kubernetes cluster Master nodes themselves. They only need to create Worker nodes to use the service, allowing them to focus more on their business. It features simplicity, low cost, and high availability.
CCE managed clusters will officially transition from the free public beta phase to commercial paid operations on November 6, 2025. The billing information is as follows:
| Cluster Type | Billing Method | Billing Cycle | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| CCE Managed Cluster | Pay-as-you-go (postpaid) | Hourly Billing | RMB 0.60/hour |
Cloud infrastructure resource fees
When using CCE managed clusters, resources from other Baidu AI Cloud products will be utilized, such as using Baidu Cloud Compute (BCC) as nodes. In addition to the cluster, you need to pay for other cloud product resources you use, such as BCC, BLB, EIP, etc. For specific billing standards, please refer to the BCC Price Calculator, BLB Pricing, and [EIP Pricing](EIP/Product pricing/EIP Instance Billing.md).
Description of service suspension from arrears
Warning
There is a risk of service suspension and resource release in case of arrears. The system will remind or notify you. Please renew your payment promptly to avoid any impact on your service.
The service status changes for CCE managed clusters after arrears are incurred are as follows:
- One day before the arrears, Baidu AI Cloud will send you a reminder message about the impending arrears.
- When you are in arrears, Baidu AI Cloud will send you a notice of service suspension due to arrears, and freeze resources (i.e., you cannot operate the cluster or the pay-as-you-go resources within the cluster).
- Within 15 days after resource freezing, if you recharge the account in arrears, the cluster resources will be automatically unfrozen, and you can continue to use the product normally.
- If resources remain frozen for more than 15 days, Baidu AI Cloud will send you a relevant notice and release the resources (i.e., destroy the cluster). Once resources are released, they cannot be recovered. You will need to repurchase them to continue using the product.
