Resource | Billing formula | Billing duration | Billing increment |
Computing resources (vCPUs and memory) | Unit price of an instance type × Usage duration | For an instance that resides in the classic network, billing begins when the instance is created and ends when the instance is released. For an instance that resides in a virtual private cloud (VPC), the billing duration depends on whether the economical mode is enabled. If the economical mode is disabled, billing begins when the instance is created and ends when the instance is released. If the economical mode is enabled, billing begins when the instance is created, suspends when the instance is stopped by using the ECS console, resumes when the instance is started again by using the ECS console, and ends when the instance is released. For more information, see Economical mode.
| 1 second Important Within each billing cycle (1 hour), computing resources has a minimum billing duration that varies based on the number of vCPUs provided by the instance type: 1 vCPU: 10 minutes, with a minimum of 10 minutes 2 vCPUs: 5 minutes, with a minimum of 5 minutes 4 or more vCPUs: 2 minutes, with a minimum of 2 minutes

Cloud disk used as the system disk | Unit price of a cloud disk × Disk capacity × Usage duration | Billing begins when the instance is created and ends when the instance is released. | 1 second Important Within each billing cycle (1 hour), the system disk has a minimum billing duration that varies based on the number of vCPUs provided by the instance type: 1 vCPU: 10 minutes, with a minimum of 10 minutes 2 vCPUs: 5 minutes, with a minimum of 5 minutes 4 or more vCPUs: 2 minutes, with a minimum of 2 minutes

Cloud disks used as data disks | Unit price of a cloud disk × Disk capacity × Usage duration | Billing begins when a data disk is created and ends when the data disk is released. | 1 second |
Public bandwidth (pay-by-bandwidth) | Unit price of public bandwidth × Bandwidth value × Usage duration | Billing starts when public bandwidth is provisioned, and ends when you disable public bandwidth or when the instance is released. | 1 second Important Within each billing cycle (1 hour), public bandwidth has a minimum billing duration that varies based on the number of vCPUs provided by the instance type: 1 vCPU: 10 minutes, with a minimum of 10 minutes 2 vCPUs: 5 minutes, with a minimum of 5 minutes 4 or more vCPUs: 2 minutes, with a minimum of 2 minutes

Snapshots | Unit price of a snapshot × Snapshot size × Usage duration | Billing begins when a snapshot is created and ends when the snapshot is deleted. | 1 hour, with a minimum of 1 hour |
