| Free tier | The first 220 GB per month is free: 20 GB for the Chinese mainland and 200 GB for regions outside. Excess traffic is billed starting from the first tier. unit GB; metered on downloaded-bytes |
|---|
| Price | USD 90 of trial credit for 3 months; 220 GB a month of egress free on any account |
|---|
| Limits | - volume-quota (binding) 220 GB a month of outbound internet traffic, account level: 20 GB in the Chinese mainland plus 200 GB outside it source
- volume-quota (binding) not published source
|
|---|
| Binding | volume-quota 220 GB a month is 7.33 GB a day, 20% of 1 TiB a month, so a run at a 1 TiB/month pace exhausts the quota in about six days and it is the first wall; the 3-month trial expiry sits behind it |
|---|
| Identity | card (placeholder) unverified: the trial page returned a login shell of 195 words and the CDT page does not state the signup instrument |
|---|
| Egress | The first 220 GB per month is free: 20 GB for the Chinese mainland and 200 GB for regions outside.; ingress: udp free allowance: The first 220 GB per month is free: 20 GB for the Chinese mainland and 200 GB for regions outside. |
|---|
| Interface | ssh SSH to the ECS public IP, with a security group rule for any further port |
|---|
| Tooling | wg-quick, nothing vendor-specific |
|---|
| Composes with | 220 GB a month is; it composes as a small regional relay in front of a bulk origin, not as the origin |
|---|
| Reliability | the free quota does not roll over and resets on the 1st; pay-by-bandwidth billing modes cannot draw on it at all |
|---|
| Notes | Two clocks: the egress quota is standing and account level, while the VM that would spend it is a 3-month trial. The 220 GB quota applies to pay-by-data-transfer BGP (Multi-ISP) traffic only; pay-by-bandwidth instances cannot use it. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented the 220 GB sentence and the inbound-is-free sentence are on the CDT help page read; the VM trial terms and the signup instrument are not, so those parts stay unverified |

| wg path | native-conf |

| wg detail | an ECS instance is an ordinary Linux VM with a public IP and a security group that accepts UDP rules, so wg-quick is native; the free trial is the constraint, not the network path |

| transit note | bytes leave through the ECS public IP as BGP (Multi-ISP) internet traffic, which is the only class the free quota covers |
