Cycle Billing
Customers pay for all the resources in use at the beginning of the cycle. You pay for compute capacity by the number of days in the billing period depending on which instances you run. No upfront payments or commitments are needed. You can increase or decrease your compute capacity depending on the needs of your application
Auto Billing
User pays for any instance running from the time/date it was spun up to the next billing cycle. Daily usage amount between the spin-up date and the next billing date are accounted for.
When you launch an instance, as soon as the status of an instance changes to running you start incurring charges for that instance.
When you don't need an instance you can terminate it. As soon as the status of an instance changes to shut-down you stop incurring charges for that instance.
When your instance transition from build to running state, you can connect to the running instance and use it the way that you'd use any physical computer. Rebooting an instance will not start a new instance billing cycle since the instance is still running.
When your instance enters the running state, your billing cycle starts, even if the instance stays idle and you don't connect to it.
