The cost bill reflects your monthly spending amount and resource details on Tencent Cloud, serving as the reconciliation document between Tencent Cloud and users.
Billing Types
You can log in to the Billing Center console, click Bills > Bill Details in the left-side menu bar, and go to the bill details page. Cost bills are divided into the following four levels:
Billing Time

Billing Cycle
The billing statistics period for international site accounts is standardized to the billing cycle.
