TOS offers pay-as-you-go pricing. This topic describes billing details, including the billing cycle and calculation formulas.
Billing cycle
TOS generates bills based on hourly usage.
warning
Bills may not be in real time. For example, you may receive a bill for 6:00–7:00 at 10:30. Log in to Billing center - Bill details to view TOS billing details. Billing formula
TOS settles fees on an hourly basis.
The pay-as-you-go billing formula is: Cost = Actual usage × Applicable unit price.
Specifically, the storage cost is calculated as: Cost = Actual usage × Applicable hourly rate.
warning
As shown in the TOS pricing details, the storage pricing unit is ¥/GiB/month. In practice, the billing platform converts ¥/GiB/month to ¥/GiB/hour using the following formula: Hourly rate = Monthly rate ÷ 30 (days) ÷ 24 (hours). Last updated: 2025.09.25 15:31:05
