Billing

In Console > Billing, you can view the balance of the settlement account and usage statistics of billing items, and analyze costs from four aspects: bill details, monthly bills, usage, and data forwarding usage.

Plans

Offers Free Plan, Commercial Plan, and Deployment Plan.

  • Public Cloud: Free Plan and Commercial Plan. Both adopt a pay-as-you-go billing method, with no difference in core features, but the latter supports larger-scale data access and more flexible storage duration.

  • Deployment Plan: Community Edition (Free Plan) and Commercial Plan. The latter offers various billing methods such as pay-as-you-go, subscription, and license.

Settlement Account Overview

View the settlement account name, cash account balance, voucher balance, prepaid card balance, and set high consumption alerts for the account, or directly go to the Billing Center.

Set High Consumption Alert

  • Total Threshold Alert: Set an overall consumption threshold for the workspace, and send email alerts to members when the threshold is exceeded.

  • Single Billing Item Alert: Set alerts for individual billing items, and send email alerts when the daily bill amount exceeds the threshold.

  1. Fill in the total alert threshold;
  2. Select a billing item and enter the alert threshold;
  3. Select members to notify. Whether it's the total threshold or a single billing item, when the actual bill amount exceeds the set alert threshold, an email alert will be sent to the members;
  4. Confirm.
Note
  • Only Owner and Administrator can set high consumption alerts;
  • The Owner role is not restricted by the notification object selection and will receive email notifications when an alert is triggered.

Note
  • If the forwarding rule is saved to the backup logs of TrueWatch, the corresponding data retention policy is displayed, otherwise it is shown as -.

Billing Center

Workspace Role Differences
  • Owner: Has the Billing Center button;
  • Administrator: Does not have the above button;
  • Other Members: Do not have access to the Billing module.

TrueWatch adopts two independently operated but statistically related account systems for the Commercial Plan, achieving usage billing and fee settlement:

  • Console Account: Counts the data access scale and bill details of the workspace, and synchronizes to the specified Billing Center account.
  • Billing Center Account: Bound via Workspace ID, enabling unified fee management at the workspace level, supporting multiple fee settlement methods.
