Billing

In shared mode, all customers share a computing power pool. You are billed based on your usage of the image generation service. This mode supports small-scale concurrent requests and instant elasticity. Its advantages include on-demand availability, pay-as-you-go billing, and low cost. The disadvantage is that image generation speed is not guaranteed, and you may experience queues during peak hours. This mode is suitable for applications that are not sensitive to image generation time.

In exclusive mode, you rent a dedicated computing power pool for a specific period. This pool is for your exclusive use. The advantage of this mode is that it guarantees image generation speed and throughput at all times. Its disadvantages include a higher cost than shared mode and the time required to reserve resources. For estimated reservation times, see the instructions for exclusive mode reservations. Exclusive mode supports resource reservations by the minute and by the month. Monthly reservations are more cost-effective.
