This document describes the bandwidth-based pay-as-you-go billing mode of BWP.
Note:
For detailed BWP pricing, see Billing Overview.
Bandwidth-based pay-as-you-go billing is only available for general BGP bandwidth packages.
When a bandwidth package is activated, the bandwidth fee of one billing cycle is frozen from your account based on your selected bandwidth cap and the unit price. For details, see Frozen Funds.
Billing description
Billing date
The bill is issued on Day 1-2 of every month. You can check the details in Cost Center.
Settlement date
Fees are calculated on a daily basis and automatically deducted from the account balance of the user.
Scope
A bandwidth package is region-specific, which means it can only be used in one region.
Bandwidth cap
Instance-based bandwidth cap: The bandwidth cap selected upon creation of the bandwidth package
Regional total bandwidth: For bandwidth limits of different line types, see Use Limits.
Fee calculation
Bandwidth package fee = The maximum bandwidth cap selected on the current day (Mbps) × billable period (days) × product unit price (USD/Mbps/day).
Maximum bandwidth cap selected on the current day: The highest bandwidth cap set for the bandwidth package in the settlement period.
Billing duration: The bandwidth-based fee is settled on a daily basis, and the minimum billable unit is one hour. See the billing example below.
Billing example
Assume that on June 1st, you have a bandwidth-based pay-as-you-go general bandwidth package in Nanjing at a unit price of 0.55 USD/Mbps/day. The max bandwidth cap of the day is 80 Mbps. The package is created at 10:45:00 and deleted at 13:30:00, therefore the billable period is 3 hours.
Bandwidth package fee = 80 × (3/24) x 0.55 = 5.5 USD
