95th percentile bandwidth |
In each calendar month, the peak bandwidth is measured and recorded every 5 minutes on each valid day. At the end of the month, the records are sorted from the highest to the lowest, and the top 5% of the records are thrown away. Then the highest bandwidth value in the remaining records is the billable bandwidth of the month and a bill is generated based on the contract price. |

Average daily peak bandwidth |
At the end of each calendar month, the system calculates the average of peak bandwidth of valid days in this month. The average value is the billable bandwidth of the month and the bill is generated based on the contract price. |

Expiration and Overdue Payment
Handling Arrears
· If your account is in arrears, your cloud resources will enter a grace period and then retention period. For details about how to handle service suspension due to arrears, see Resource Suspension and Release.
· View the outstanding amount of your account in the Billing Center. Pay the outstanding amount by referring to Making Repayments (Postpaid Direct Customers).
About Arrears
· During the grace period, the CDN service is not stopped, but domain names cannot be added to CDN.
· When your account balance is used up and your account enters the retention period due to using other Huawei Cloud services, you cannot use CDN for acceleration if you use CDN services that need to be deducted from your account balance, such as pay-per-use CDN services and whole site acceleration.
· If your account enters the retention period due to outstanding payments, the service termination policy of CDN will be triggered. If the service termination policy is set to Redirect to origin server, CDN will provide the retrieval service within 30 days after the service termination policy is triggered. After 30 days, your acceleration domain name cannot be accessed.
Balance Alert
If you are using a traffic package, you are advised to enable the usage alert function. If the remaining quota of the traffic package drops below a configured threshold, an SMS message or email will be sent to you.
