Usage statistics allows you to query the usage of resources, such as the streaming bandwidth and traffic, number of ingested streams, and transcoding and recording duration. This topic describes how to view the usage details of your ApasaraVideo Live resources.
Time granularity
You can query resource usage in the ApsaraVideo Live console or by calling API operations. However, the maximum time range that you can query and the maximum period of time within which historical data is available are different:
Time granularity | Maximum time range per query | Historical data available | Data delay |
5 minutes | 3 days | Last 6 months | 15 minutes |
1 hour | 31 days | Last 6 months | 4 hours |
1 day | 31 days | Last 6 months | 04:00 on the next day |

Transcoding specifications for billing
You are charged for transcoding based on the transcoding resolution, transcoding type, and duration. A transcoding specification is determined by the transcoding resolution and transcoding type.
Transcoding types:
H264NBHD: Narrowband HD™ transcoding based on H.264
H265NBHD: Narrowband HD™ transcoding based on H.265
AUDIO: audio transcoding
Examples of transcoding specifications:
SD_H265NBHD 6 Minutes: The transcoding resolution is 720p (SD), the transcoding type is Narrowband HD™ H.265, and the transcoding duration is 6 minutes.
2K_H265NBHD 3 Minutes: The transcoding resolution is 2K, the transcoding type is Narrowband HD™ H.265, and the transcoding duration is 3 minutes.
SD and 2K in the preceding examples indicate the transcoding resolutions in terms of billing. They may not exactly be the actual video resolutions. For more information, see Billing of live stream transcoding.
