Query Alibaba Cloud CDN bills by day or month to review charges across billing types and export usage data for cost analysis.
CDN billing covers four charge types:
Data transfer (pay-by-data-transfer)
Bandwidth resources (pay-by-peak-bandwidth)
Value-added services
Log entries delivered to the specified location by the real-time log delivery feature
The Billing Details tab shows billing data used for reconciliation. The View Usage Details tab shows raw usage data for reference only — these two figures are not interchangeable.

An Alibaba Cloud account with access to the CDN console
Access to the Expenses menu in the Alibaba Cloud console
Query bills
Log on to the Alibaba Cloud CDN console.
In the top navigation bar, click Expenses.
On the Billing Details tab, select a statistical dimension and a statistical period to view charge breakdowns. For more information, see Billing details.
