Billing items, free quota, and a billing example for Managed Agents.
Managed Agents billing takes effect at 2026-08-17 09:00:00 (UTC+8). The prices and quota below apply to that release; actual billing time and amounts are subject to the Console bill.
Billing items
Managed Agents charges consist of three parts, each billed independently.
| Item | Rate | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Session runtime fee | CNY 0.5/hour | Base billing item. Billed by the runtime duration of created and enabled (running) sessions; partial hours are calculated by actual duration. |
| Model invocation fee | Per the actual rate of the invoked model | Token consumption from models (such as the Qwen series) invoked at runtime. Not included in the runtime fee; charged at Bailian's public pay-as-you-go rate for the corresponding model. |
| Tool and MCP invocation fee | Per the actual rate of the invoked tool or MCP | Fees from invoking tools or MCP services, billed separately. |
The runtime fee accrues while a session is running and is not charged while idle. Terminate sessions that are no longer in use to reduce the runtime fee. For session state management, see Manage sessions.
Free quota
After billing takes effect, a free quota of 10 hours of session runtime is granted.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Granted quota | 10 hours of runtime in total, across any number of sessions |
| Deduction scope | Deducts only the session runtime fee (CNY 0.5/hour); does not deduct the model invocation fee or the tool/MCP invocation fee |
| Validity | Valid for 30 days from the quota effective date; expires afterward |
Billing example
Run 2 sessions, each for 5 hours. During this period, both sessions invoke the qwen-plus model, consuming 1,000,000 input tokens and 200,000 output tokens (input CNY 0.004/1K tokens, output CNY 0.012/1K tokens).
| Item | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Session runtime fee | (5 + 5) hours × CNY 0.5/hour | CNY 5.0 |
| Model invocation fee | (1000 × 0.004) + (200 × 0.012) | CNY 6.4 |
| Total | CNY 11.4 |
