Payment Mode
Use Case and Description
Monthly subscription
Prepaid Billing. You need to pay the fees when creating an instance.
It is more cost-effective in the long term for businesses with stable needs than pay-as-you-go billing.
Pay-as-you-go
Postpaid Billing. A bill is generated every hour, and fees are deducted from your Tencent Cloud account based on the bill.
It is suitable for instantaneously fluctuating businesses. In this mode, instances can be released immediately after the use to save costs.
Only pay-as-you-go data sync tasks can be changed to the monthly subscription billing mode.

Description
Data Migration
Link configuration fees
Pay-as-you-go
Full migration is free of charge. Fees are incurred only during normal incremental migration (including data consistency check). When the task ends or is paused, billing will also stop.
If you select Structural migration or Full migration for Migration Type, no fees will be incurred.
If you select Full + incremental migration for Migration Type, during source database export and data import, full migration is performed free of charge. During subsequent incremental sync, incremental migration is performed and billing starts. When you click Complete, the task ends and billing stops.
Public network traffic fees
Pay-as-you-go
Currently, the public network traffic is free of charge.
Data Sync
Link configuration fees
Monthly subscription and pay-as-you-go
A monthly subscribed task is billed upon purchase.
A pay-as-you-go task is free of charge during configuration and will incur fees only when it starts running. Fees will incur only when it runs normally, and billing will stop when it is paused.
Public network traffic fees
Pay-as-you-go
Currently, the public network traffic is free of charge.
Data Subscription
Link configuration fees
Monthly subscription
Billing will start after the configuration is completed and the instance starts successfully.
Data storage fees
Free
Currently, data storage is free of charge.

In pay-as-you-go billing mode, the fees for one hour's usage will be frozen during task creation and will be unfrozen when you terminate the instance or the instance is isolated and terminated due to overdue payments. This is the case even in scenarios where no fees are incurred, for example, incremental migration is not selected in a migration task, or a pay-as-you-go sync task is purchased but not started. We recommend that you terminate completed or unwanted tasks promptly to unfreeze fees in time.

Billable DTS Links

Only the following commercial links for data migration and sync are billed, and you will be notified if billing starts for other free links. All supported links for data subscription are billed.

Data Migration Billing Details

Link configuration fees (pay-as-you-go)
Note
For DTS link configuration billing, three key factors are specifications, cross-region selection, and target region. Prices vary depending on the combo. For more information, see the purchase page in the [DTS console](https://buy.cloud.tencent. com/migration!85f6590a97448e3282d761536d270586).
Specifications are increased from small to medium to large, xlarge, and 2xlarge. Higher specifications incur higher fees and deliver better transmission performance.
The cost of links across regions is higher than that of links in the same region. For example, "Beijing-to-Beijing" means the same region, "Beijing-to-Shanghai" means cross-region, "Beijing-to-Beijing Finance" means cross-region, and each finance region is counted as an independent region.
The billing will differ depending on whether the target region is Chinese Mainland, the finance region in Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong (China), or other countries and regions. See the table below for details. In a cross-region link, the billing outcome is always the same for the same target region regardless of the region choice made on the source side.
RPS indicates the number of incremental data rows migrated to the target table per second by DTS RPS is subject to various factors such as operational load of the source database, network bandwidth, and network latency. Therefore, the following figure data is for reference only.

Data Sync Billing Details

Note
For DTS link configuration billing, three key factors are specifications, cross-region selection, and target region. Prices vary depending on the combo. For more information, see the purchase page in the DTS console.
Specifications are increased from micro to small to medium and large. Higher specifications incur higher fees and deliver better transmission performance.
The cost of links across regions is higher than that of links in the same region. For example, "Beijing-to-Beijing" means the same region, "Beijing-to-Shanghai" means cross-region, "Beijing-to-Beijing Finance" means cross-region, and each finance region is counted as an independent region.
The billing will differ depending on whether the target region is Chinese Mainland, the finance region in Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong (China), or other countries and regions. See the table below for details. In a cross-region link, the billing outcome is always the same for the same target region regardless of the region choice made on the source side.
RPS indicates the number of incremental data rows synced to the target table per second by DTS. RPS is subject to various factors such as operational load of the source database, network bandwidth, and network latency. Therefore, the following figure data is for reference only.

Existing DTS Task Billing Rules

1. The billing rules for existing data migration tasks are as follows:
After billing started officially, the specifications of existing tasks were switched to xlarge by default, which can be modified for NewDTS but not OldDTS.
The pay-as-you-go billing mode was adopted.
As incremental migration tasks are billed, we recommend that you cut over promptly after migration is completed to avoid incurring unnecessary fees.
2. The billing rules for existing data sync tasks are as follows:
After billing started officially, the specifications of existing tasks were switched to medium by default and can be modified.
The monthly subscription billing mode was adopted, and the uniform expiration date was set to Thursday, June 15, 2023.
After billing started officially, sync tasks entered the overdue payment status first (and could still be used normally for 24 hours). You needed to renew them in the console; otherwise, they would be suspended after 24 hours and deleted automatically seven days after suspension.
Note
After billing started and the specifications were switched to the default value, the RPS limits took effect gradually.
