Cost Allocation
Updated at：2025-10-27
Overview
The cost allocation records display the monthly cost allocation of the prepaid resources you have purchased historically. You can view your prepaid cost allocation information in [-1-]Management Console[-2-] - Financial Center - Cost Allocation.
Notes:
- Prepaid cost allocation shows the usage cost of your prepaid resources. For example, if you purchase a 1-year BCC resource at a cost of RMB 240, the monthly allocated cost will be RMB 20.
- Cost allocation bills can only be used for cost consumption evaluation and cannot be used for reconciliation. If reconciliation is needed, please go to the consumption center.
- Prepaid cost allocation only displays data starting from April 2020.
