# Payment model and pricing of Managed Databases

## Balance \{#balance}

To pay for [Cloud Platform resources](/access-control/projects/about-projects.mdx#selectel-products-that-support-projects), depending on the account's balance type, you can use [a united balance](/balance-and-payments/balance.mdx#united-balance) or [a Cloud Platform balance](/balance-and-payments/balance.mdx#balances-by-service-type).

You can pay for resources with different [types of funds](/balance-and-payments/balance.mdx#funds-types): basic funds or bonuses.

Before you start paying, [top up your balance](/balance-and-payments/manage/top-up-balance.mdx).

## Payment model \{#payment-model}

The Cloud Platform uses a pay-as-you-go payment model. Every hour, funds are debited from your balance for the previous hour of using [Cloud Platform resources](/access-control/projects/about-projects.mdx#selectel-products-that-support-projects), and you are also charged for [external traffic](#external-traffic).

All created resources are charged for, even if they are turned off.

:::note

For example, you have created a Managed Database cluster with resources: vCPU, RAM, and Local Disk. If the cluster is suspended, the resources will continue to be charged for every hour.

:::

For more details about payments, see the document [Terms of Use for Selected Services: Cloud Platform Service Group](https://files.selectel.ru/docs/ru/conditions-cloud-platform.pdf).

## Resource blocking if there are insufficient funds on the balance \{#insufficient-funds}

If there are insufficient funds on your balance at the time of the scheduled debit, all [Cloud Platform resources](#external-traffic) will be automatically blocked, but you will continue to be charged for them.

To restore access to resources, you must [top up your balance](/balance-and-payments/manage/top-up-balance.mdx) to cover the debt within 14 days after the blocking. The debt for resources that were charged while blocked will be automatically settled. Projects are not blocked — you can delete a project entirely or delete resources via the API.

If you do not top up your balance to cover the debt within 14 days after the account is blocked, all Cloud Platform resources will be deleted. Projects themselves will not be deleted.

To avoid missing balance top-up requirements, you can [configure balance notifications](/balance-and-payments/manage/balance-notifications.mdx).

## External traffic \{#external-traffic}

External traffic is the inbound and outbound traffic between the public address of a Cloud Platform object and a public address on the internet. All other traffic is considered internal.

Every month, 3 TB of free external traffic is provided for all projects within a single Cloud Platform account. After the 3 TB of free traffic is used, external traffic is charged according to the [Cloud Platform payment model](#payment-model).

By default, [basic Selectel DDoS protection](/anti-ddos/ddos-selectel.mdx) is enabled for the Cloud Platform. Malicious DDoS traffic that is filtered out is not counted towards your usage and is not charged.

## Internal traffic \{#internal-traffic}

Internal traffic is the inbound and outbound traffic between the public address of a Cloud Platform object and the public address of another Selectel service, such as a Dedicated Server or S3.

Traffic between projects and pools in the Selectel Cloud Platform is also considered internal.

There is no charge on the Cloud Platform side for traffic (inbound and outbound) to any other Selectel services.

## View usage \{#view-consumption}

<ViewConsumption />

## Prices \{#prices}

Prices for resources and external traffic can be viewed on [selectel.ru](https://selectel.ru/prices/). Prices in [pools](/infrastructure/locations.mdx#pool) may vary.

You can calculate the cost of a Managed Database cluster in the [resource calculator](https://selectel.ru/prices/calculator/).

## Accounting documents \{#reporting-documents}

After payment, you can [retrieve accounting documents](/balance-and-payments/accounting-documents.mdx).
