This topic describes how to query the usage details of the Anti-DDoS Origin 2.0 (Pay-as-you-go) instance that you use to protect the assets of regular Alibaba Cloud services or elastic IP addresses (EIPs) with Anti-DDoS (Enhanced) enabled. In this topic, the assets that are assigned public IP addresses are referred to as assets.
Query usage details of the pay-as-you-go instances
Usage notes
Multi-account management feature
If the multi-account management feature is enabled, you can use the management account to query the usage details of assets that belong to members. However, you cannot use members to query the usage details of assets that belong to the members. For more information, see Use the multi-account management feature.
Bandwidth limits on EIPs with Anti-DDoS (Enhanced) enabled
The bandwidth limits vary based on the region of the EIP with Anti-DDoS (Enhanced) enabled, as described in the following list. To adjust the bandwidth limits, you can click Details on the right side of the Billing Management page to submit an application. The bandwidth limits do not take effect on regular Alibaba Cloud services.
Peak inbound bandwidth for local-region access: If a client and an EIP with Anti-DDoS (Enhanced) enabled reside in the same region outside the Chinese mainland, the peak inbound bandwidth is 2 Gbit/s. If a client and an EIP with Anti-DDoS (Enhanced) enabled reside in the same region in the Chinese mainland, the peak inbound bandwidth is 20 Gbit/s.
Peak inbound bandwidth for cross-region access: If an EIP with Anti-DDoS (Enhanced) enabled resides in a region outside the Chinese mainland and a client resides in a different region outside the Chinese mainland, the peak inbound bandwidth is 100 Mbit/s. If an EIP with Anti-DDoS (Enhanced) enabled resides in a region in the Chinese mainland and a client resides in a different region in the Chinese mainland, the peak inbound bandwidth is unlimited.

Description
Feature Enabling
After you purchase an instance, you are charged for the instance based on the number of days for which you use the instance. The fee varies based on the region in which your asset resides.
Protected IP Address
The IP addresses that are protected, including EIPs with Anti-DDoS (Enhanced) enabled and the IP addresses of regular Alibaba Cloud services.
You are charged based on the number of IP addresses that are protected. The actual fee is calculated based on the tiered prices.
The number of IP addresses on Day T is collected on Day T+1. The number of IP addresses at approximately 23:00 (UTC+8) on Day T is used for billing.
If the multi-account management feature is enabled, the numbers of protected IP addresses in the current Alibaba Cloud account and members are separately displayed.
Clean Bandwidth
Only the service traffic of cloud services is billed. The service traffic of a cloud service is calculated based on the larger value between the inbound and outbound service traffic.
The unit prices for service traffic protection of regular Alibaba Cloud services and EIPs with Anti-DDoS (Enhanced) enabled are different. Service traffic protection for regular Alibaba Cloud services and EIPs with Anti-DDoS (Enhanced) is separately billed.
Service traffic from regions in and outside the Chinese mainland is separately billed based on the tiered prices.
The service traffic protection usage on Day T is calculated on Day T+1.
If the multi-account management feature is enabled, the service traffic protection usage in the current Alibaba Cloud account and the members is separately displayed.
Query alerts on exceeded upper limits of the subscription instances
Usage notes
You can only query alerts generated within the last 30 days.
Anti-DDoS Origin allows your clean bandwidth to exceed the clean bandwidth of your Anti-DDoS Origin instance for a short period of time. If the period exceeds 36 hours, the Anti-DDoS Origin mitigation becomes invalid and only basic mitigation capabilities are provided. There are two ways to restore Anti-DDoS Origin mitigation capabilities:
Wait for automatic restoration in the next billing cycle.
Upgrade the Anti-DDoS Origin instance's bandwidth. Once upgraded, protection will automatically restore, and the overuse time will reset.
Procedure
Log on to the Traffic Security console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
Query the alerts on exceeded upper limits of the subscription instances on the Subscription Instances tab.
Click Details in the Actions column to view the trends for inbound bandwidth, outbound bandwidth, and clean bandwidth.
