Billing Example
Suppose you upload a batch of images to a bucket, use CI's image cropping and Guetzli compression features to process the images in real time, and add blind watermarks during upload.
Usage statistics show that the basic image processing usage is 5 TB, the Guetzli compression feature is used 10,000 times, and the blind watermark feature is used 10,000 times. You purchased a 100,000-times image compression resource pack valid for 12 months in the Chinese mainland last month.
The following can be concluded:
Billable Item | Free Tier | Price | Billable Usage | Fees (Price x Billable Usage) |
Basic image processing | 10 TB | 0.01 USD/GB | 0 GB | 0 USD |
Guetzli compression | None. | 0.015 USD/1,000 times | 10,000 times | 0.015 x 10 = 0.15 USD |
Blind watermark fees | None | 0.15 USD/1,000 times | 10,000 times | 0.15 x 10 = 1.5 USD |
Monthly fees | - | - | - | 1.65 USD |

CI doesn't bill inbound traffic, so uploading images for real-time processing doesn't incur traffic fees.
Storage fees are charged by COS.
