      Cloud Streaming Services (CSS) offers a variety of value-added features, including standby streams, delayed playback, local relay mode, and stream mix matting. These features are paid value-added services. When using these value-added features, select appropriate value-added services based on your actual business needs. The specific pricing and billing rules are as follows:

      Notes

      In addition to value-added service fees, the use of standby streams may also incur traffic and bandwidth fees.
      In instances where the duration of a single standby stream is less than 1 minute, it will be billed as 1 minute.
      In addition to value-added service fees, the use of the delayed playback feature may also incur traffic and bandwidth fees.
      In addition to value-added service fees, the use of the local relay mode may also incur relay fees.
      The CSS stream mix API offers stream mix matting capabilities. Using the stream mix matting feature will incur stream mix matting fees.

      Billing Examples

      Billing Example of Standby Streams

      The live domain names of streams A and B are configured with standby streams. On October 16, 2023, the streams were automatically switched to the standby stream input sources due to unexpected interruptions multiple times. The following table lists the start and end time of the standby streams:
      Stream ID
      Standby Stream Start Time (Hour:Minute:Second)
      Standby Stream End Time (Hour:Minute:Second)
      Billing Duration (Actual Duration × Ratio)
      A
      00:00:05
      00:00:25
      1 minute × 1.6
      A
      00:00:28
      00:00:55
      1 minute × 1.6
      B
      00:00:50
      00:03:49
      3 minutes × 1.6
      Stream A: Billing duration of the standby stream = (1 minute + 1 minute) × 1.6 billing units/minute = 3.2 billing units
      Stream B: Billing duration of the standby stream = 3 minutes × 1.6 billing units/minute = 4.8 billing units

      Billing Example of Delayed Playback

      Assume that you used the delayed playback feature for a total of 60 minutes on June 15, 2023. The bill generated on June 16, 2023 would be as follows:
      0.01515 (USD/billing unit) x 0.05 (billing unit/minute) x 60 (minutes) = 0.04545（USD）

      Billing Example of the Local Relay Mode

      Assume that you enabled the local mode for a relay task on November 23, 2022. The duration of the task was 100 minutes, including 60 minutes of local files. On November 24, 2022, you would need to pay the following fees:
      Relay fee: 0.00032 (USD/minute) x 100 (minutes) = 0.032 (USD)
      Value-added feature fee: 0.01515 (USD/billing unit) x 0.02 (billing unit/minute) × 60 (minutes) = 0.01818 (USD)

      Billing Example of Stream Mix Matting

      If you solely used the stream mix matting feature for a total of 60 minutes on November 13, 2024, the bill generated on November 14, 2024 would be as follows:
      0.01515 (USD/billing unit) × 1 (billing unit/minute) × 60 (minutes) = 0.909 (USD)
