Billing method	Billing rule	Billing description
Pay-as-you-go	Pay-by-bandwidth Pay-by-data-transfer	Pay-by-bandwidth: Billing depends on the bandwidth limit specified when you purchase the EIP, and is independent of the actual traffic usage. This billing method is recommended for businesses that require stable bandwidth. Pay-by-data-transfer: Billing depends on the actual amount of data traffic consumed. The bandwidth usage during peak hours will not exceed the bandwidth limit specified when you purchase the EIP. This billing method is recommended for businesses with fluctuating bandwidth. The billing cycle is calculated in natural hours.
Subscription	Prepaid	In the subscription billing scenario, only the bandwidth fee is applicable. The billing cycle is calculated on a monthly basis.
