Billing example: A user creates a custom inference service under the Enterprise Edition plan, selects the Entry-level GPU (A-tier), and manually sets the instance count to 1
Assume that the user starts the service at 10:00:00 on March 3. Between 10:00:00 - 11:00:00 on March 3, the instance runs continuously for 1 hour (3600 seconds). At 11:00:00 on March 3, the user adjusts the number of instances from 1 to 2. Both instances run continuously between 11:00:00 - 12:00:00 for 1 hour (3600 seconds).
The unit price of Entry-level GPU is 0.002050 CNY/second, therefore the cost settlement for these two hours is as follows:
On March 3, 10:00:00 - 11:00:00, 1 instance was running, and the cost for this hour: 0.000217 × 3600 × 1 = 0.7812 USD.
On March 3, 11:00:00 - 12:00:00, 2 instances were running, and the cost for this hour: 0.000217 × 3600 × 2 = 1.5624 USD.
Total cost for two hours: 0.7812 + 1.5624 = 2.3436 USD.
