Charges and overdue payments
Alibaba Cloud offers a service suspension grace period. If a pay-as-you-go resource becomes overdue, you may continue using the cloud service within a certain credit amount or time period, and normal charges continue during the grace period. The grace credit is not a cap on your total overdue balance. Your credit amount or duration is calculated and updated each month based on factors such as your Alibaba Cloud spending history. For more information, see Service suspension protection for overdue payments.
