You are billed at the end of each month in arrears. Your monthly invoice includes an itemized cost accounting for each $SERVICE_LONG and any additional charges.
$CLOUD_LONG charges are based on consumption and your pricing plan:
- Compute: billed and metered on an hourly basis. This means that you are billed for a full hour even if the actual consumption is less. You can scale compute up and down at any time. If the compute config changes mid-hour, you are billed for the config used at the end of that hour.
- Storage: billed and metered on a quarter of an hour basis. Storage grows and shrinks automatically with your data.
For example, over the last month your $SERVICE_LONG has been running compute for 500 hours total:
- 375 hours with 2 CPU
- 125 hours 4 CPU
and consumed high-performance storage for 720 hours total:
- 200 hours with 100 GB
- 520 hours with 150 GB
Compute cost = (375 x hourly price for 2 CPU) + (125 x hourly price for 4 CPU)
High-performance storage cost = (200 x 100 GB x hourly price per GB) + (520 x 150 GB x hourly price per GB)
Some add-ons such as tiered storage, HA replicas, and connection pooling may incur additional charges. These charges are clearly marked in your billing snapshot in $CONSOLE.
