Fee deduction rules
For example, if User A, who does not buy a resource package or has used up the resource package, continues calling APIs and generates a bill of 1 million characters, the fee to be paid is calculated as follows: 0.000033 x 1,000,000 = 33 USD. He/She must use the balance in the account or other methods to pay the bill in order to continue calling the service. However, you cannot pay the bill by purchasing another service plan.
The validity of service plans is one year since the purchase date. The machine translation service is preferentially billed by using quotas in your service plan. When the margin is 0, the base price is charged according to the actual usage to generate an hourly bill.
Special note
The machine translation service is billed by using service plans that you have purchased earlier if they exists.
The products are settled on the hour, and the fees are generally deducted from the next hour.
If the account is in arrears, the service will be suspended, and the service can be resumed after the arrears are paid off.
API debugging consumes the corresponding number of characters that you can call.
