Daily billing (pay-as-you-go)
AntChain Certificate Contract Service is a pay-as-you-go service billed on a daily basis. This method lets you start and stop the service at any time to better plan your usage and save costs.
Billing rules
Billing starts as soon as the service is activated. You are charged for a full day if the service is active at any point between 00:00 and 24:00 (UTC+8). Usage for less than a full day is billed as one full day. The Certificate Contract Service depends on the BaaS service. If your BaaS service expires or has an overdue payment, the Certificate Contract Service also becomes unavailable. The service stops when the BaaS service stops.
Billable item | Billing rule | Price (CNY/day) | Description |
AntChain Certificate Contract Service | Daily settlement | 139.00 | Billing starts upon activation. |
Billing cycle
Bills are generated daily. At a fixed time each day, the system settles the fees from the previous day (00:00 to 24:00). A bill is then generated, and the amount is automatically deducted from your account balance. The specific settlement time may vary. If your account balance, which includes your Alibaba Cloud account balance and any coupons, is insufficient to cover the bill, your service will have an overdue payment.
To avoid frequent overdue payments and top-ups, add funds to your account balance in advance. For example, add funds to cover your estimated costs for one month or longer.
Overdue payments
If your account has an overdue payment, you cannot use the AntChain Certificate Contract Service. Overdue payments also affect other Alibaba Cloud products under the same account. Top up your account and settle the overdue payment as soon as possible to avoid service disruptions.
