What are the billing methods for lightweight database services?

The billing methods for lightweight database services typically include pay-as-you-go and subscription models.

1. Pay-as-you-go: This method charges based on actual usage, such as the amount of storage used, the number of reads and writes, or the duration of usage. For example, if you use a lightweight database service for 10 hours in a month and consume 5GB of storage, you will be billed based on these metrics.

2. Subscription model: This method charges a fixed fee within a specified period, regardless of the actual usage. For instance, you might choose a monthly subscription that includes 10GB of storage and a certain number of reads and writes, and you will pay this fixed fee every month as long as you keep the subscription.
