Cause of overdue payments

You are charged for excess data transfers on a pay-as-you-go basis. Excess data transfers are settled on the hour. Make sure that you have a sufficient balance in your Alibaba Cloud account to pay for excess data transfers. Otherwise, the payment becomes overdue, and Alibaba Cloud sends you a notification. We recommend that you complete your payment at the earliest opportunity to prevent impacts on your business due to stopped or released simple application servers.
