Overview

You can view the fees incurred by the use of COS under your account in the Billing Center in the Tencent Cloud console.

Note：

• COS bills are settled in the order of free tier > pay-as-you-go billing.
• By default, the system uses the pay-as-you-go billing mode for settlement; that is, the system will deduct the free tier (if any) first and then bill the excessive usage in a pay-as-you-go manner.
• For more information on the free tier and billable items, see Free Tier and Billing Overview respectively.

Viewing Bills by Instance/Bill Details

You can view bills by instance and bill details in the Billing Center in the console.

• Bill by instance: It displays the bill amount by resource ID, which is the same as the bill by instance (L2) file. For more information, see Bill Management.
• Bill details: Detailed records are not aggregated, and each fee entry is a detailed record. The details are the same as those in the bill details (L3) file. For more information, see Bill Management.
