Billing example

In this example, the high precision monitoring feature is enabled for five metrics of a cloud service. A data point is generated based on each metric of an instance every 5 seconds. In this case, the daily fee for 100 cloud service instances is calculated by using the following formulas:

Total number of data points = 60/5 × 60 × 24 × 5 × 100 = 8,640,000 (864 × 10,000)

Fee = 864 × USD 0.00035 = USD 0.3024
