Alibaba Cloud has declared that its Container Service Agent will debut new functionalities, including a Skill Center and IM channels, at 10:00 AM Beijing Time on September 3, and will simultaneously start to implement commercial charging. Following this update, services like conversation capabilities, autonomous intelligent operations and maintenance, and scheduled tasks will incur fees. However, the configurations and historical task records of current users will remain intact. The Container Service Agent employs a credit-based billing system, where credits can be obtained at no cost and are compatible with both pay-as-you-go and prepaid resource package deductions. When utilizing relevant features, the consumption of model resources will be translated into credits for billing purposes.
