Note:
Billable items of CSS include basic services and value-added services. You may also incur extended service fees if you use CSS features that rely on the capabilities of other Tencent Cloud products.
Basic service fees are the fees for using LVB and LEB and are charged based on either traffic or peak bandwidth usage.
Value-added service fees are the fees for using value-added features, such as transcoding, recording, time shifting, screencapture, audit, delay playback, LVC, and relay. These features are disabled by default and are billed only when enabled.
Extended service fees are the fees for using the capabilities of other Tencent Cloud products and are charged according to the billing rules of the corresponding products.
