You can use the OSS billable item detection tool to understand usage data for your OSS resources. The tool also recommends resource plans to help you reduce costs.
Background
If you use multiple OSS features, you may incur various fees. For example, storing text, images, or audio and video files in OSS generates storage fees. Browsing or downloading files from OSS over the Internet generates egress traffic fees. For more information about OSS billable items, see the billing overview.
The OSS billable item detection tool centralizes usage data for storage, requests, traffic, and transfer acceleration.
Procedure
Log on to the OSS console.
-
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Resource Usage > Billing Item Detection.
-
On the billable item detection page, you can view some billable items from your OSS usage for a specific region or all regions over the last 3 or 7 days.

The usage and fee data on this page are estimates only and do not constitute your final bill. The fee information is not real-time due to billing delays.
For example, assume that you have incurred Standard (LRS) storage fees in five regions under your account. In the China (Shanghai) and China (Beijing) regions, you incur fees because your usage exceeds the quota of your resource plan. In this case, we recommend that you upgrade the resource plan. If you incur fees for other reasons, you can click View Usage by Region to check usage details and see recommended actions.
