Overview
Tags help you manage your resources. You can use tags to categorize, search for, and aggregate your Tencent Cloud resources. Tags are the labels you attach to Tencent Cloud resources and can be used for cost allocation. A tag consists of a tag key and a tag value. A tag key can have multiple values.
To display a tag in your bills, you need to set the tag as a cost allocation tag. Each cost allocation tag is a column in bills, and the values of a tag are displayed in the corresponding rows of the resources they are attached to. Tags not set as cost allocation tags are not displayed in bills.
Prerequisites

Query by API
You can also use APIs to query tag information starting from the month of setting cost allocation tags.
Call the DescribeBillDetail
, DescribeBillResourceSummary
, DescribeBillSummaryByProject
, or DescribeBillSummaryByTag
API and you will get bill data and the corresponding tag information.
FAQs
Tagging takes effect immediately, but there is a delay in bill data, so tags will not be displayed until the cache data of bills is refreshed.
Note:
The resource tag information at the end of the month is taken for the months when bills were generated in the past. Subsequent changes to the resource tags will not be refreshed after billing.
