Balance
Review the current balance and currency before creating resources or upgrading plans. Check the selected service's actual price and billing cycle rather than assuming every product is free or charged the same way.
Current usage
Current usage identifies resources generating charges, totals for the selected period and service/resource breakdowns. Compare hourly/daily views to understand spikes. Private networking does not imply free bandwidth; review the relevant plan. Stopping a VPS does not necessarily end all charges.
Top-ups and history
- Use the payment link/QR flow shown in Console when a top-up is needed.
- Check transaction status and history before retrying a pending payment.
- Confirm the updated balance and review ongoing resource usage.
- Remove unused test resources only after checking any data you need to keep.
