Bill Subscription

Updated at：2025-10-27

Overview

To facilitate customer reconciliation, Baidu AI Cloud has launched the bill subscription function. When bill subscription is enabled, daily incremental bill data will be pushed to the customer's designated BOS by 12:00 the next day, while monthly summary bills will be pushed to your specified Bucket by 12:00 on the 1st of the following month.

Billing types that can be subscribed by Baidu AI Cloud:

Hour bill: It includes daily incremental hour bills and monthly summarized hour bills
Resource bill: It includes daily incremental resource bills and monthly summarized resource bills

Notes on Bill Subscription

Before enabling bill subscription, please note:

Enabling bill subscription requires you to activate the BOS service and create a Bucket for storing bills.
To ensure the security of your billing data, set the read/write permission of the corresponding Bucket to be Private.
BOS file system fees incurred by bill storage shall be borne by you.

Exception handling

In the push anomaly records, you can view the reasons and times of previous bill push failures. There are four main reasons for bill push failures:

Account arrears

If your account is in arrear, BOS services will be suspended, and the system fails to push bill to your BOS.
Bucket has been deleted

If you delete the subscribed Bucket in BOS after bill subscription, bills will fail to be pushed to that Bucket.
Excessive bill data volume
