Last Updated:Jan 20, 2025

The usage statistics feature allows you to query the usage of resources, such as the streaming bandwidth and traffic, number of ingested streams, transcoding duration, and live stream recording. 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. The following table describes the maximum time range to query, the period within which historical data is available, and the data delay.

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.

Note

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.
