Storage Capacity Billing Rules

  • Peak Billing: Billed based on the highest storage capacity recorded during the month.
  • Average Billing: Billed based on the average of the highest daily storage capacities throughout the month.

Storage Capacity Monitoring: The total capacity used by all storage buckets under the main account is recorded hourly, with the daily maximum value used for that day。
Monthly Billing Calculation:

  • Peak Billing = max(D1, D2, …, D30)
  • Average Billing = avg(D1, D2, …, D30), where Di represents the maximum storage volume on day i.
