# TiDB Cloud Lake Pricing & Billing

Your costs on {{{ .lake }}} consist of the following components: warehouses, storage, cloud service, and service hosting fees. This page contains information about the pricing of each component and how the billing works.

## {{{ .lake }}} Pricing

This section provides pricing information on warehouses, storage, cloud services, and service hosting.

### Warehouse Pricing

Your warehouses incur costs when they are running (specifically, when in the Running state). The cost depends on the warehouse's size and running time. **Billing is calculated on a per-second basis**. For example, if you have a warehouse running for three seconds, you will be charged for that exact duration.

The size of a warehouse refers to the maximum number of concurrent queries it can handle, and prices vary based on the different sizes available and the {{{ .lake }}} edition you use.

| Size    | Hourly Cost (Personal)            | Hourly Cost (Business)            |
|---------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| XSmall  | $1.6                              | $2.4                              |
| Small   | $3.2                              | $4.8                              |
| Medium  | $6.4                              | $9.6                              |
| Large   | $12.8                             | $19.2                             |
| XLarge  | $25.6                             | $38.4                             |
| 2XLarge | $51.2                             | $76.8                             |
| 3XLarge | $102.4                            | $153.6                            |
| 4XLarge | $204.8                            | $307.2                            |
| 5XLarge | $409.6                            | $614.4                            |
| 6XLarge | $819.2                            | $1228.8                           |

A suspended warehouse does not consume any resources. By default, {{{ .lake }}} automatically suspends a warehouse after five minutes of inactivity to save resources and costs. You can adjust or disable this automatic suspension feature according to your preferences.

### Storage Pricing

Your data in {{{ .lake }}} is physically stored in the object storage service of your cloud provider: Amazon S3 on AWS and Object Storage Service (OSS) on Alibaba Cloud. Storage prices in {{{ .lake }}} are based on the object storage pricing of the cloud provider and region where your organization is deployed, so the price varies by cloud provider and region. Both the Personal Edition and Business Edition are priced the same.

Storage usage is measured in binary units, where 1 GiB is 2^30 bytes and 1 TiB is 1,024 GiB.

| Cloud Provider | Region Name              | Region ID      | Price per GiB per Month |
|----------------|--------------------------|----------------|-------------------------|
| AWS            | US West (Oregon)         | us-west-2      | $0.023                  |
| AWS            | US East (N. Virginia)    | us-east-1      | $0.023                  |
| AWS            | Asia Pacific (Tokyo)     | ap-northeast-1 | $0.025                  |
| AWS            | Asia Pacific (Singapore) | ap-southeast-1 | $0.025                  |
| AWS            | Asia Pacific (Mumbai)    | ap-south-1     | $0.025                  |
| Alibaba Cloud  | Japan (Tokyo)            | ap-northeast-1 | $0.020                  |
| Alibaba Cloud  | Singapore                | ap-southeast-1 | $0.020                  |

In addition to the storage capacity, storage costs also include the read and write requests that {{{ .lake }}} sends to the object storage service. Request prices are also based on the object storage request pricing of the cloud provider and region where your organization is deployed.

### Cloud Service Pricing

The cloud service fee currently includes fees for the API requests. Each time you run a SQL query with {{{ .lake }}}, a REST API request is sent to the `lake-query` through the {{{ .lake }}} HTTP handler. In the Personal Edition, you are billed $1 for every 10,000 API requests, while in the Business Edition, the cost is $2 for every 10,000 API requests.

| Edition          | Cost per 10,000 API Requests |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Personal Edition | $1.00                        |
| Business Edition | $2.00                        |

### Service Hosting Pricing

Service hosting fees apply to Data Integration services. Unlike a warehouse, a Data Integration service typically runs continuously (24/7) until you stop it. Billing follows the same model as warehouses: it is calculated on a per-second basis according to the actual running time, and the price depends on the service size and the {{{ .lake }}} edition you use.

Service sizes are derived from the XSmall warehouse size. The monthly costs in the following table are estimates based on continuous 24/7 operation for 720 hours per month (30 days) and are provided for reference only.

| Size    | Hourly Cost (Personal) | Hourly Cost (Business) | Monthly Cost (Personal, 24/7) | Monthly Cost (Business, 24/7) |
|---------|------------------------|------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
| 4XSmall | $0.20                  | $0.30                  | $144                           | $216                           |
| 3XSmall | $0.40                  | $0.60                  | $288                           | $432                           |
| 2XSmall | $0.80                  | $1.20                  | $576                           | $864                           |

## Example-1

**Usage Scenario:** A user is using an XSmall warehouse (Business) in the AWS US East (N. Virginia) region and occasionally queries data. This specific query took 5 minutes and 20 seconds, and the data storage size is 100 GiB.

| Cost | Formula | Amount |
|------|---------|--------|
| Warehouse | $2.4 ÷ 3600 × (5×60+20) | $0.21 |
| Storage | $0.023 × 100 ÷ 30 | $0.08 |
| **Daily Total** | | **$0.29** |
| **Monthly Total** | | **$8.70** |

## Example-2

**Usage Scenario:** A user is using an XSmall warehouse (Business) in the AWS US East (N. Virginia) region to continuously import data into {{{ .lake }}}. The warehouse runs 24 hours a day with 1 TiB (1,024 GiB) storage, using Task service for minute-by-minute data loading. The estimated number of API calls is 50,000.

| Cost | Formula | Amount |
|------|---------|--------|
| Warehouse | $2.40 × 24h | $57.60/day |
| Storage | $0.023 × 1024 ÷ 30 | $0.79/day |
| Cloud Service | $2 × 5 | $10.00/day |
| **Daily Total** | | **$68.39** |
| **Monthly Total** | | **$2,051.70** |

## {{{ .lake }}} Billing

The billing period is set for every calendar month, starting from the 1st day to the last day of the month. For your first month, the billing period will begin on the day your organization was created.

To check your billing details, go to **Manage** and then click on **Billing**. From there, you can review your bills and link a credit card for payment.

When billing users, {{{ .lake }}} applies vouchers first. If multiple vouchers are available, the system prioritizes deduction from the voucher with the earliest expiration date. Please ensure vouchers are used before their expiration date.
