This document provides the billing description, billing formula, bandwidth unit prices, and billing example for Anycast Internet Acceleration (AIA) BGP bandwidth packages in the pay-as-you-go - monthly 95 percentile billing mode.
Note:
For AIA BGP bandwidth packages, the bandwidth cap can be set within the range of 1-2000 Mbps.
AIA BGP bandwidth packages are billed based on the actual bandwidth usage across multiple acceleration regions, so the bills are generated in a unified manner under Other Regions.
When an Anycast EIP is activated, the system will automatically create an AIA BGP bandwidth package, which is only used to report usage details of the local region but not for billing.
Billing Description
Billing time
Bills are generated on the first or second day of every month. You can view the specific billing time in the Billing Center. For details, see Bill Description. Settlement time
Fees are settled on a monthly basis and automatically deducted from your account balance.
Settlement scope
Bandwidth packages are billed by region. A bandwidth package can only cover one region.
Peak bandwidth
Peak bandwidth for a single instance: The peak bandwidth of an instance billed by bandwidth package is 2 Gbps. This is a reference value for the maximum possible bandwidth, but not a committed metric. In case of resource contention, the peak bandwidth may not reach this value.
Billing Formula
Bandwidth package fees = Monthly peak bandwidth × Unit price × Valid days/Days of the billable month
Monthly peak bandwidth: A peak value is calculated separately for the outbound and inbound bandwidth every 5 minutes and the higher value is taken as a valid sample point of peak bandwidth. All sample points of the current month are sorted in descending order and the top 5% are removed. The highest value of the remaining sample points is used as the monthly peak bandwidth.
Suppose that you used a bandwidth package for 14 valid days in June. As a sample point was generated every 5 minutes, 288 sample points were generated every day and 4,032 sample points were generated in 14 days. The bandwidth values of these sample points were sorted in descending order and the top 5% (4,032 sample points × 0.05 = 201.6 sample points) were removed. The bandwidth value of the 202nd sample point was taken as the 95th percentile peak bandwidth for the month.
Valid days: Number of days with the bandwidth greater than 1 kbps.
Days of the billable month: Number of calendar days in the month when the bandwidth package is used.

Billing Example
Assume that you activated an AIA BGP bandwidth package in the Hong Kong (China) region on June 1 (the billable month included 30 days). The Anycast EIP belongs to Asia Pacific and the main acceleration region is Singapore (according to Tencent Cloud's region classification, Singapore also belongs to Asia Pacific). Based on the billing standard, the bandwidth unit price in Asia Pacific is 18.86 USD/Mbps/month. Assume that in this billing cycle, there were 20 days with non-zero bandwidth and the 95th percentile peak bandwidth for the month was 120 M. Then the bandwidth package fees for that month are calculated as follows:
Bandwidth package fees = 120 × 18.86 × 20/30 = 1,508.80 USD
