Alibaba Cloud has officially declared that, effective from November 25, 2026, there will be a modification in the billing framework for acquiring and utilizing the CDE Agent. Specifically, the Agent will no longer be available for purchase and billed as an independent entity. Instead, both new and current users will have the capability to directly establish and configure Agents, bypassing the necessity for any extra purchases. Importantly, no charges will be levied for the creation and configuration of Agents. In scenarios where tasks necessitate the utilization of sandbox resources, the settlement will be uniformly conducted using Credits, with the amount being determined by the actual consumption. Conversely, if sandbox resources remain unused, no Credits will be deducted. Users are afforded the convenience of monitoring their Credits balance and delving into detailed usage information via the console.
