15.4.1 Overview of Usage charge Calculation
When a user subscribes to or unsubscribes from an L-Platform, or performs operations such as starting or stopping an L-Server, these are
recorded as operation logs in the metering log.
Resource (L-Platform, L-Server, etc.) usage time is then aggregated from this operation log. Usage charges are calculated for each L-
Platform based on the aggregated usage time, the amount of resources used, and the unit price in the charge information. The monthly
usage charges are confirmed the day after the cut-off date set for the tenants, and then sent to the email address.
15.4.2 Resource Usage Times
Resource usage times include the time deployed and the time operated. These are aggregated based on the information in the metering
log. Deployment time is the time between when the resource is deployed and when it is terminated. Operating time is the time between
when the resource is started and when it is stopped.
Usage time is aggregated according to the following rules:
Usage time under one hour (in minutes)
Each day's usage time is aggregated as minutes.
Rounding
Times are rounded off to the nearest minute. Times 30 seconds and over are counted as 1 minute. Times less than 30 seconds are
counted as 0 minutes.
The following shows an example of an L-Server deployed time and operated time.
This example shows when an L-Server is added at 7:00, started at 7:40, stopped at 18:20, and then deleted at 19:00.
15.4.3 How to Charge for Resources
Resources can be charged by a fixed rate or by the amount used. With fixed charging, the usage charges are charged according to a fixed
fee rather than the usage time of the resources. With charging by the amount used, the usage charges are charged according to the usage
time of the resources.
Unit codes for the charge information are used when charging. Fixed charging is used when either year or month is specified as the unit
code. Charging by amount is used when hour is specified as the unit code.
The following table shows the relationships between the unit code specified in the charge information, the charging method, and the
calculation of a month's usage charges:
