Billing example
Assume you have an instance in the China (Shanghai) region and use a public endpoint to access it. The outbound Internet traffic generated by the instance in one hour is shown below.
Time | 1st minute | 2nd minute | 3rd minute | ... | 59th minute | 60th minute |
Outbound Internet traffic generated | 0.2 GB | 0.3 GB | 0.9 GB | No downstream traffic was generated | 0 | 0.6 GB |
The data transfer cost for the instance for this hour is (0.2 + 0.3 + 0.9 + 0.6) GB × 0.8 CNY/GB = 1.6 CNY.
