Sandbox billing items, rules, and a billing example.
Sandbox is billed based on actual usage, metered per second. Charges consist of two parts:
Each running Sandbox includes 15 GiB of system disk by default at no additional charge.
Memory and disk data saved after a Sandbox is paused, as well as independently created Snapshots, are measured by the actual usage reported by the platform.
Create a Standard Sandbox:
The example above is calculated based on list prices. Actual amounts are subject to the billing and cost console and applicable discounts.
- Session runtime fee: Charges incurred while a Sandbox executes tasks.
- Data retention fee: Charges incurred when a Sandbox is paused or a Snapshot is saved.

Billing Example
Create a Standard Sandbox:
- Runs for 40 minutes.
- Paused for 2 hours, with paused data occupying 8 GiB.
- Resumed and runs for another 20 minutes.
- A Snapshot is created during this period, occupying 6 GiB and retained for 3 hours.
| Item | Calculation | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Session runtime fee | (40 + 20) ÷ 60 × 0.312 | CNY 0.3120 |
| Data retention fee (Sandbox paused) | 8 × 2 × 0.0021 | CNY 0.0336 |
| Data retention fee (Snapshot saved) | 6 × 3 × 0.0021 | CNY 0.0378 |
| Total | CNY 0.3834 |
