Bills

You can view CDN bills on the Billing page in Billing Center. For details, see Bills.

Precautions

CDN does not support bill generation by domain name, enterprise project, or tag. You can use cost splitting to view the amortized costs.
Traffic statistics on the CDN console are the logged traffic statistics. However, the billable traffic is 10% higher than the logged statistics because TCP/IP packet headers and TCP retransmissions also consume traffic.
If you have purchased a traffic package, you cannot view the package bill by package ID. You can query the bill by package name. For details about how to obtain the package name, see Resource Packages.

Bill Reporting Period

The usage of pay-per-use resources is reported to the billing system at a fixed interval for settlement. Pay-per-use products can be settled by hour, day, or month based on the usage type. For details about the fee deduction rules, see Bill Run for Pay-per-Use Resources.

CDN traffic is billed by hour. Traffic used in an hour will be settled 4 hours later.
CDN peak bandwidth is billed by day. The system settles the bandwidth at about 20:00 (GMT+08:00) the next day.
In the average daily peak bandwidth and 95th percentile bandwidth billing options, the system settles the bandwidth at about 20:00 (GMT+08:00) on the first day of the next month.

Example: If traffic-based billing is used, the fee generated from 08:00 to 09:00 is deducted at about 13:00. On the Billing Center > Billing > Expenditure Details page, Expenditure Time indicates the time when a pay-per-use product is used.

Viewing Bills of a Specific Resource

CDN is billed by account. Bills cannot be queried by resource (acceleration domain name). For details about how to view the cost of each acceleration domain name, see Cost Management.
A resource ID in a CDN bill is in the format of UUID + Billing region + Billing option. The UUID is generated by account. The resource ID is used only for billing and cannot be queried on the CDN console.
For details about the mapping between resource IDs and usage types in bills, see Mapping Between Usage Types and Resource IDs in CDN Bills.

Checking CDN Usage Based on Bills

To check whether the CDN usage is consistent with that in bills, log in to the CDN console, choose Dashboard in the navigation pane, and check the billing option on the right. The following table lists whether a billing option supports CDN usage check and the check methods.

Billing Option	Usage Type	Usage Check Method
By traffic	Traffic outside the Chinese mainland Traffic Bandwidth in other Asia Pacific regions Bandwidth in Hong Kong (China), Macao (China), Taiwan (China), Japan, and South Korea Bandwidth in Europe Bandwidth in India Bandwidth in the Middle East and Africa Bandwidth in North America Bandwidth in Oceania Bandwidth in South America	To check the total amount, see Checking the total usage. Usage cannot be checked by enterprise project, domain name, or tag. However, you can split costs by enterprise project, domain name, or tag. For details, see Enabling Cost Splitting.
By peak bandwidth	Peak bandwidth in the Chinese mainland Peak bandwidth outside the Chinese mainland Bandwidth in other Asia Pacific regions Bandwidth in Hong Kong (China), Macao (China), Taiwan (China), Japan, and South Korea Bandwidth in Europe Bandwidth in India Bandwidth in the Middle East and Africa Bandwidth in North America Bandwidth in Oceania Bandwidth in South America	Usage cannot be checked. You can use cost categories to group costs to different departments or enterprise projects. For details, see Viewing Costs by Cost Category. CDN costs can be split.
By 95th percentile bandwidth	95th percentile bandwidth in the Chinese mainland 95th percentile bandwidth outside the Chinese mainland	Usage cannot be checked by enterprise project, domain name, or tag. For details about how to split costs by enterprise project, domain name, or tag, see Enabling Cost Splitting.
By average daily peak bandwidth	Average daily peak bandwidth in the Chinese mainland Average daily peak bandwidth outside the Chinese mainland

UUIDs are generated by account. Different resource IDs of the same account share the same UUID.
Only customers who have enabled region-based billing outside the Chinese mainland have IDs of region-based resources outside the Chinese mainland.
The bandwidth and traffic in the Chinese mainland use the same resource ID. Therefore, the billing option cannot be identified based on the resource ID.
