This topic explains how you are charged for burst bandwidth.​

Description​
Unit price​
Formula​
Burst bandwidth​
You are charged based on your actual burst bandwidth usage and the duration of your usage.​
¥8,000/Gbps/month​
Pay-as-you-go: Hourly cost = Sum of burst bandwidth per minute within one hour (Gbps)× Monthly rate ÷ 30 (days) ÷ 24 (hours) ÷ 60 (minutes)​
​
Example​
In the China (Guangzhou) region, the limit for total outflow bandwidth, or total download bandwidth (public + private network) is 10 Gbps. Burst bandwidth was enabled before 09:00:00 on August 18, 2025. Between 09:00:00 and 10:00:00, the total outflow bandwidth significantly peaked, exceeding the limit. During this time, the public outflow bandwidth was 0 Gbps.​
The bandwidth usage by minute is shown below:​
tip​
Cloud Monitor tracks the total outflow bandwidth and its associated limit for TOS on a per-minute basis. In the Cloud Monitor console, you can view the total inflow and outflow bandwidth for each region and master account. For instructions, see Viewing bandwidth usage.​
  • The total outflow bandwidth from 9:18:00 to 9:19:00 was 15 Gbps.​
  • The total outflow bandwidth from 9:19:00 to 9:20:00 was 17.5 Gbps.​
  • The total outflow bandwidth from 9:20:00 to 9:21:00 was 13 Gbps.​
  • The total outflow bandwidth from 9:21:00 to 9:22:00 was 12.5 Gbps.​
We calculate the cost of burst bandwidth as follows:​
​
Period​
Burst bandwidth usage​
Burst bandwidth cost​
9:18:00–9:19:00​
Total outflow bandwidth - Total outflow bandwidth quota = 15 - 10 = 5​
Total cost = Sum of burst bandwidth per minute (Gbps)× Monthly rate ÷ 30 (days) ÷ 24 (hours) ÷ 60 (minutes)​
= (5 + 7.5 + 3 + 2.5) × 8,000 ÷ 30 ÷ 24 ÷ 60​
= ¥3.33​
9:19:00–9:20:00​
Total outflow bandwidth - Total outflow bandwidth quota = 17.5 - 10 = 7.5​
​
9:20:00–9:21:00​
Total outflow bandwidth - Total outflow bandwidth quota = 13 - 10 = 3​
​
9:21:00–9:22:00​
Total outflow bandwidth - Total outflow bandwidth quota = 12.5 - 10 = 2.5​
