CI offers a limited free tier for all users, which can be used to deduct the fees incurred by most CI features. Usage in excess of the free tier will be billed separately.
Note:
Currently, most CI billable items provide a free tier, while some don't. For more information on all billable items and pricing, see Pricing Overview.
If your service is suspended due to violations or overdue payment, you will not be eligible for the Free Tier perk. Free Tier will be unavailable until the service is resumed.


Free Tier

The Free Tier is only applicable to Public Cloud regions. For more information, see Regions and Domains.

Access and Query

After you activate and use CI's basic image processing service, the system will automatically issue a free tier resource pack to your account, which will be valid for one month.

For other services, the system will automatically issue a free tier resource pack when you use a service for the first time, which will be valid for two months.

The free tier will be delivered in the form of a free resource pack. You can view when your free tier resource pack will take effect and expire in the Storage Package Management page in the console.


Validity Period

The free tier for the basic image processing service is valid for one calendar month.

The free tier for other services is valid for two calendar months.

For example, if you activate and use CI's basic image processing service at 05:13:14 PM on March 10, 2021, the effective month of the free resource pack starts from March 1, 2021, and the free tier is valid between March 1, 2021 and March 30, 2021.


Billing Sequence

During the Free Tier term, you may be charged other fees you incur, such as advanced compression fees and traffic fees. Therefore, the billing sequence varies for your billing settlement depending on the scenario.

Take basic image processing as an example:

By default, COS bills are settled in a pay-as-you-go manner.

If you are eligible for the free tier for basic image processing, then your bills are settled in the order of free tier > pay-as-you-go. That is, you are charged in a pay-as-you-go manner only for the part exceeding the free tier.
