This topic describes how to view the usage details of a resource plan to determine whether resource waste exists. You can purchase resource plans based on your business requirements to reduce costs.
Usage notes
To use ApsaraVideo VOD data transfer plans to offset the fees for acceleration traffic, you must configure an accelerated domain name and use the pay-by-traffic metering method for your acceleration service.
If you do not configure an accelerated domain name, you cannot use data transfer plans to offset fees for the outbound storage traffic that is generated when you play or download videos.
Procedure
You can query usage details only for valid resource plans and resource plans that expired within one year.
Log on to the ApsaraVideo VOD console. In the top navigation pane, select Expenses and Costs from the Expenses drop-down list.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Manage Reserved Instances.
On the Manage Reserved Instances page, set Resource Type to Resource Packages. Then, you can view the usage details of resource plans.
You can configure the filter conditions to query usage details of resource plans. For example, you can select ApsaraVideo VOD from the Product Name drop-down list or specify the Effective At field or the instance status.
