A monthly cap credit limits eligible metered resource charges for a billing period. Usage can keep accumulating until the credit is calculated when your invoice is issued.
The current standard configuration uses a 672-hour cap for eligible CPU, RAM, disk, and backup-storage meters. Check charges for public IP addresses and separately billed products separately; this cap does not cover the whole invoice.
- Open the invoice and find its monthly cap adjustments. Check the billing period and the resource charges they adjust.
- Compare the corresponding month in Billing overview. Compare resource quantities as well as time. If you resized a VM during the month, its allocation changed.
- If an expected adjustment is missing, send billing the invoice number, service ID, billing period, and resource entries. For a comparison with an earlier invoice, include both invoice numbers.
Pay the amount shown as due unless billing confirms a correction. An estimated future credit does not settle an invoice.
