Page Components

The key components of the Billing & Wallet page include:

Billing & Wallet page

1. Wallet Type: The type of wallet for the project. This can be changed by contacting the sales team.

   • Prepaid: This type requires funds to be added to the wallet before resources can be used. It is the default type for all newly created projects.

   • Postpaid: This type allows for immediate resource usage. The total usage is calculated, and funds are deducted from the wallet at the end of each billing cycle (monthly).

2. Wallet Status: The wallet's status affects resource usage within the system. Possible statuses are:

   • Normal: The standard status, indicating that resources can be used without restriction. (Note: For Prepaid wallets, the balance must be greater than zero to create new resources).

   • Overdue: A status specific to Postpaid wallets. It occurs when payments for past billing cycles are outstanding beyond the due date. Resources remain accessible during this period.

   • Paused: In this status, Compute Instances within the project are paused (suspended, but not shut down), and many actions are restricted. This occurs when:

     • For Prepaid wallets: The balance falls below zero.

     • For Postpaid wallets: The account remains in an Overdue status for an extended period.

   • Halted: In this status, Compute Instances within the project are shut down (powered off). This occurs when the wallet remains in a Paused status for an extended period.

   • Terminated: In this status, all resources within the project are permanently deleted. This occurs when the wallet remains in a Halted status for an extended period.

   • Temporary Enabled: A temporary status that allows paused or halted Compute Instances to be reactivated for a short period.

3. The current wallet balance.

4. An estimated timeframe before the next wallet status change (this may vary based on usage).

5. A section to top up the wallet, where you specify the amount before proceeding to NIPA Payment.

6. A section to redeem promotional vouchers.

7. The history of top-ups and voucher redemptions.

8. The total usage for the current billing cycle.

9. The billing history for previous cycles.
