Billing Overview
This document describes the components of Makers fees and how they are calculated by object and billing cycle. For specific prices and quotas, see Plan Comparison.
Billing Item
The fees for Makers consist of the following components:
Component | Description | See |
Plan fee | Pro Plan prepaid subscription; Business Plan customized quote on demand. | |
MU billing | The usage of computing and storage resources within the platform is converted into MUs proportionally. MUs are first deducted from those included in the plan, and after they are used up, postpaid billing applies based on the MU price. | |
EdgeOne metering and billing | Secure acceleration and Edge Functions follow the metering method of EdgeOne. After the quota included in the plan is exceeded, postpaid billing applies based on the overage price. |
Note:
The free edition incurs no fees. After the quota is exhausted, the corresponding resources will be limited and will not be converted to pay-as-you-go billing. For details, see Free Plan Usage Instructions.
Billable Items
Makers is billed by plan, and a plan must be bound to a workspace before it can be used:
Usage within a workspace is counted toward the currently bound plan, and consumption of the same plan may come from multiple workspaces.
The quotas and fees of each plan are independent of each other and will not be offset against each other.
After a project or workspace is deleted, the incurred consumption and fees will not be reversed.
Note:
After a workspace is deleted, an unexpired prepaid plan can be bound to a newly created workspace for continued use. Therefore, plan consumption may not equal the usage of a single workspace. Plan consumption can be viewed in "Plan Consumption" on the right side of the project list page. For details, see Plan Consumption and Usage.
Billing Cycle
Project | Pro Edition | Business Edition |
Plan period | The cycle starts from the time of purchase. The cycle calculation rules are consistent with those of the EdgeOne plan. For details, see EdgeOne Billing Overview. | Prepaid or postpaid payment is supported. Quotas can be customized based on business scale, and usage beyond the quota is billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. The billing cycle and settlement method are subject to the contract. |
Quota reset | The quota included in the plan (including MU) is reset monthly, and the unused portion is not carried forward. | |
Overage settlement | Settled on an hourly basis; storage resources are settled on a daily basis. | |
Bills, deductions, and invoices are viewed and managed centrally in the Tencent Cloud Billing Center.
Package Expiration and Overdue Payments
After a plan expires, the bound workspace will be downgraded to the free edition or disabled based on whether the account has an idle free plan. After the account has an overdue payment, the service will be suspended. For details, see Overdue Payment and Plan Expiration.
