ImportantIf you do not have an active resource plan, your usage is billed at the pay-as-you-go rate. Pay your bills on time to avoid service disruptions. If a payment is overdue for 24 hours, your access to this capability is suspended. Service is restored after you pay the outstanding balance.
Failed invocations are not billed.
For more information about how costs are calculated, see Billing Methods.

Alibaba Cloud Vision AI Platform resource plans can be stacked. After a resource plan is depleted or expires, usage is automatically billed at the pay-as-you-go rate. You can purchase a resource plan. Each resource plan is valid for one year. Prices are listed in the following table.
