Billing Modes
VOD supports daily and monthly billing cycles. You can pay as you go or buy prepaid packages.
Upon service activation, the default billing mode will be daily pay-as-you-go.
Billing time
Daily billing cycle: Fees incurred each day are billed and deducted between 12:00 and 18:00 (UTC+8:00) the following day.
Monthly billing cycle: Fees incurred each month are billed and deducted between the 1st and 3rd day of the following month.
Difference: With daily billing, fees are calculated each day and billed the following day. With monthly billing, fees are calculated each day and billed at the beginning of the following month.
Note:
The monthly billing cycle supports bill-by-bandwidth. If you want to switch to the monthly billing cycle, please contact sales.
Billing modes
Pay-as-you-go: You only pay for your actual usage of different services. Fees are deducted after use.
Packages: You buy packages in advanced. When usage occurs, the packages will be used for deduction first.
Note:
In the daily billing mode, the system will deduct your usage from your packages first. The additional usage will be billed at pay-as-you-go rates. For more information about packages, see Prepaid Packages.
In the monthly billing mode, the system will deduct your usage from valid packages first. The additional usage will be billed at pay-as-you-go rates. For more information about packages, see Prepaid Packages.
About valid packages in the monthly billing mode: In the monthly billing mode, a package can only deduct usage that occurs when the package is still valid. For example, suppose a package expires on January 20, 2023. It can deduct usage that occurs between January 1 and January 20. The additional usage will be billed at pay-as-you-go rates. The billing details will be included in your January 2023 bill.
