User requests: Include requests sent to COS to upload, download, query, delete, and perform other operations through APIs, SDKs, or the console.
Backend requests: Include requests to delete STANDARD copies (when the restored archived objects expired or after a lifecycle transition), read/write data for cross-bucket replication, and deliver inventory reports.

Billable Item Description
Applicable Storage Class
Applicable Billing Mode
Fees incurred by the daily total number of sent read/write requests.
Both successful and failed requests are billed.
The minimum number of requests for billing is 10,000.
If the daily number of requests is less than 10,000, fees will be calculated based on the actual number of requests.
If the daily request fees don't reach the minimum deduction value, the request fees will be 0 on the bill. For more information, see Billing.
Data in ARCHIVE and DEEP ARCHIVE storage classes cannot be directly read or downloaded.
Data uploaded to ARCHIVE or DEEP_ARCHIVE will generate an upload request. This request is charged according to the read/write request fees of ARCHIVE/DEEP_ARCHIVE. For details, refer to Pricing.
If you directly access ARCHIVE or DEEP ARCHIVE data not restored yet, a request error will be reported, but the request will still be billed as an ARCHIVE/DEEP ARCHIVE read/write request. For more information, see Pricing | Cloud Object Storage.
If you restore an object in ARCHIVE, a copy will be generated in the STANDARD storage class, which will be billed at the STANDARD storage usage price. If you access the copy, a read/write request will be generated, which will be billed at the STANDARD read/write request price.
If you restore an object in DEEP ARCHIVE, a copy will be generated in the STANDARD storage class, which will be billed at the STANDARD storage usage price. If you access the copy, a read/write request will be generated, which will be billed at the DEEP ARCHIVE read/write request price.

Billing Examples

Note:
Prices in the following examples are for reference only. For the actual prices, see Pricing | Cloud Object Storage.
Both successful and failed requests are billed.

Example: STANDARD storage usage fees + STANDARD request fees

Assuming that on April 1, 2024, user A uploaded 10 GB of STANDARD data to a COS bucket in the Guangzhou region, and on the same day spent 0.01 USD to purchase a STANDARD request package of 100,000 times, universally valid in the Chinese mainland for a validity period of 1 month. On that day, the user repeatedly called the GET Bucket API to query the object list, making a total of 100,000 requests. With no other operations performed for the rest of the time and settling daily charges incurred on the previous day, then:
STANDARD storage usage fees: Settled daily starting from April 2, 2024.
STANDARD request fees: Settled on April 2, 2024.
Fees analysis:
STANDARD storage usage fees: Pay-as-you-go, 0.024 USD/GB/Month/30 x 10 GB x 30 days = 0.24 USD
STANDARD request fees: Using the STANDARD request package, 100,000 requests are deducted within the validity period (April 1, 2024, to April 30, 2024). Total: 0.01 USD.
In summary, based on the analysis above, the total bill for user A in April is 0.24 + 0.01 = 0.25 USD.
