You are charged based on the duration of successfully processed content. No fee is charged if processing fails.
Billing rules
Rule item | Billing description |
Billing rule | Billing is based on the total duration of successfully processed videos. The duration is measured in seconds, converted to minutes, and then billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. Durations less than one minute are billed proportionally. The fees for each review feature are cumulative. |
Billing method | Pay-as-you-go: The total fee is the sum of the fees for each review feature. The formula is: Fee for a single review feature = Total duration of successfully processed videos (minutes) × Unit price per minute for the corresponding pricing tier. |
Billing cycle | Alibaba Cloud measures your service usage from the previous billing cycle and generates a bill in the next one. The exact time the bill is generated depends on the system. |
Activation method | Request to activate the service on the Automated Review product page. |

Billing example
Assume you use the Automated Review service. You submit videos to the Pornography Detection Service. The total duration is 60,620 seconds. Of this total, 60,020 seconds are processed successfully and processing fails for 600 seconds. The billable duration is 1,000 minutes. You also submit videos to the Terrorism and Politically Sensitive Content Detection Service. The total duration is 300,010 seconds, all of which are processed successfully. The billable duration is 5,000 minutes. The total fee is calculated as follows: (1,000 minutes × CNY 0.1/minute) + (5,000 minutes × CNY 0.09/minute) = CNY 550.
