Billing account

Billing account contains your credentials, tax and bank card information, and provides payment capability in DoubleCloud.

Your billing account contains the following information tabs:

• Billing information

• Consumption details

• Payments

• Invoices

Each project in DoubleCloud has a single associated billing account.

Billing account validity period

Billing accounts don't expire.

A Billing account may be suspended in case of non-payment or if the trial period has ended without upgrading to paid usage.

Access to the Billing account

By default, only the project owner has access to the Billing account. The owner can grant access to the Billing account to other users on the project by assigning the billing role to them.

For more information on assigning user permissions, see Manage roles and users.

Billing account balance

You can see the balance indicator to the right of the project name in your DoubleCloud interface and in the Status card in the Overview tab of the Billing information page .

If your balance shows:

• A negative number - this is the amount of money you owe at the current moment for services rendered.

• A zero - this means that your account is going through the free Trial period. You'll also see the number of credits and the number of days remaining before the end of your free Trial period in the Status card on the Overview tab of your Billing page.

To get detailed information on your spending, see Monitor resource consumption.
