Announcement on New Billing for Delivered Messages in the IM Community Feature

Last updated: 2024-11-29 09:16:30
    Dear Chat user, thank you very much for choosing to use our Chat community feature. Since its launch, this feature has been very popular among users, and we are very grateful for your support and love. However, while constantly pursuing superior and more stable product features, we also face increasing cost pressures. To ensure that our services can continue to operate stably and to avoid resource congestion caused by excessive message volume, we have to make a difficult decision: to moderately adjust the fees of delivered messages generated by the community. This will allow us to better optimize resource allocation, conduct technical upgrades and product iterations, and provide better services.
    The billing will officially take effect on January 1, 2025(UTC+8).

    Adjustment Description:

    Community Delivered Message Billing:
    The community of Premium Edition includes 100 million free delivered messages per month, which can be used to offset the consumption of messages generated by the current application (SDKAppID). The excess part will be settled on a pay-as-you-go basis. The prices and rules for pay-as-you-go are as follows:
    Price
    Billing Mode
    10 million messages/USD 20
    Pay-as-you-go (calendar month)
    Note:
    The statistical accuracy of delivered message usage for the community is set at 10 million, measured by SDKAppID. The cumulative usage is calculated monthly, and any amount less than 10 million messages is counted as 10 million messages.
    Free Testing Rules:
    To facilitate user testing of the community feature, when the community feature is first enabled for the application of Development Edition in your account in the console, you will receive 50 million free delivered messages, which can be used to offset the consumption of messages generated by the application upon the first trial of the community feature under this account.
    After the free quota is exhausted in the free trial period, the excess part will be charged according to the delivered message billing rules. The free quota is valid for one month (from the enabling day to 23:59:59 on the day before the same date in the next month, for example, if this feature is enabled on February 15, 2025, the validity period is from February 15, 2025 to March 14, 2025 23:59:59) and will automatically expire at the end of the period.
    If you apply for community feature testing multiple times, or the test period exceeds one month, the excess part will be charged according to the billing rules.
    Note:
    We will provide a buffer time until February 1, 2025 for applications (SDKAppID) of Development Edition with community feature testing enabled before January 1, 2025. The delivered messages generated during the test period will not incur any charges.

    Billing Examples:

    Example 1:
    Xiao Teng has an application, Chat of Premium Edition. If the community feature has been enabled for this application, and the total number of delivered messages generated by the community from January 1, 2025 to February 1, 2025 is 60 million, Xiao Teng does not need to pay for this billing item this month.
    Example 2:
    Xiao Xun has an application, Chat of Premium Edition. If the community feature has been enabled for this application, and the total number of delivered messages generated by the community from January 1, 2025 to February 1, 2025 is 300 million, Xiao Xun needs to pay for the delivered messages generated by the community this month as follows: (300 million - 100 million) x USD 200 = USD 400.
