Pay-as-you-go
Pay-as-you-go is a postpaid billing method where payment occurs after resource usage. You are not required to purchase resources in advance, and can enable or release resources at any time according to demand.​
Applicable scenario​
Pay-as-you-go is designed for short-term business needs. You can disable resources at any time when they are no longer required, and charges will cease right afterwards.​

Purchase requirements​
  • You need to create a Volcano Engine account and complete real-name authentication before you can use the resources of the database workshop (DBW). For account registration and real-name authentication methods, refer to Account registration and Real-name authentication.​
  • When enabling the DBW function, the total value of your account balance (i.e. cash balance) and vouchers must not be less than RMB 100.​
Billing duration​
For pay-as-you-go (excluding service suspensions due to payment arrears), the billing period spans the entire service lifecycle: charges begin upon enabling and cease immediately upon disabling.​
Settlement cycle​
Pay-as-you-go is billed based on actual usage with an hourly settlement cycle. The system processes payments precisely at the top of each hour (UTC+8). Should your available account balance (including both cash credit and vouchers) become insufficient to cover the pending charges, you will receive low-balance notifications via SMS or email.​
