Billing Overview
Chat adopts the following billing methods:
Plan prepaid: The validity period of a package is from the day of purchase to the same day the following month. For example, a package purchased on March 1, 2023 is valid from March 1, 2023, to April 1, 2023.

The basic service fee covers two parts: the resource plan fee and out-of-plan resource usage fee.
Resource plan fee: Chat offers the Free Trial, Standard, and Premium editions. After you have created an application in the console, it is defaulted as the Free Trial edition (free). Based on your business needs, you can upgrade to another plan with different capabilities. For resource plan comparison, see Comparison of billing plans.
Out-of-plan resource usage fee: The fee charged for resource usage that exceeds the free quota of the Standard or Premium edition plan.
