Introduction to Yearly/Monthly Billing

1. What Is Yearly/Monthly Billing

Yearly/Monthly billing is a prepayment mode in which you pay first and then HUAWEI CLOUD provisions you the resources you have paid for. If you have had a subscription of x years or x months, you will be able to use the purchased resources exclusively within the x years or x months based on the prepayment, and you will not be charged any extra fees.

In yearly/monthly billing mode, you will pay less for the same duration of usage than in pay-per-use billing mode. HUAWEI CLOUD provides different discounts based on the usage duration. For pricing details, visit the HUAWEI CLOUD official website. After you subscribe to a resource for x years or x months, the resource will be guaranteed available for you within the subscribed duration, avoiding resource insufficiency.
