Megaport Object Storage billing has two components:

* The **Megaport Object Storage VXC** (the network connection to the storage) is billed by Megaport and appears on your **Megaport invoice**.

* **Storage consumption** (the amount of storage you use each month) is billed by Latitude.sh and appears on your **Latitude.sh invoice**.

For more information about contract terms and pricing, see [Megaport Object Storage Pricing and Contract Terms](/finance/storage-pricing).

## Megaport Object Storage VXC billing

VXC billing starts as soon as the Megaport Object Storage connection is live. Megaport bills the VXC monthly on a postpaid basis.

You can view Megaport invoices in the Megaport Portal. For more information, see [Downloading an Invoice](/finance/download-invoice).

## Storage consumption billing

Latitude.sh bills you for your storage consumption. For more information, see <Link href="https://www.latitude.sh/docs/billing/overview">Latitude.sh Billing</Link> and <Link href="https://www.latitude.sh/docs/billing/invoices">Latitude.sh Invoices</Link>.

## Viewing Megaport Object Storage connection billing details

The Billing page shows billing details for the selected connection. You can view upcoming estimated bills and any changes in the configured speed over a given month for a { productName_0 }.

<Note>
  If your account is managed through a Megaport partner, the partner manages the billing. Contact your partner for your billing details.
</Note>

**To view billing details for a { productName_0 }**

1. Log in to the <Link href="https://portal.megaport.com">Megaport Portal</Link> and choose **Services**.
2. Click the gear icon next to the connection.

3. On the Connection Details page, click **Billing**.

   <Image src="/images/finance/vxc-billing-icon.png" alt="VXC Billing icon" shadow={true} width={450} />

   The Billing graph shows the configured speed over the current billing month and the Estimated Next Bill. The Estimated Next Bill for the current month is updated with each change to the service.

   <Image src="/images/finance/vxc-billing-speed.png" alt="Billing graph" shadow={true} width={600} />

   The shaded area of the graph shows the configured speeds for the portion of the month that has already passed. The dotted line shows the expected speed for the rest of the billing month, assuming that no changes are made.

   To view details for a previous month, click the Billing Month and select a month.

## Billing Details table

The Billing Details table shows the configured speed for the connection, as well as any changes made to the speed during the selected month. Each speed change creates a new entry in the table.

<Image src="/images/finance/vxc-billing-details.png" alt="Billing details" shadow={true} width={750} />

Each entry includes these billing details:

* **Speed (Mbps)** -- The configured speed for the connection.
* **Start/End** -- The date range that the connection was configured at this speed. Time is displayed as UTC+10 (Brisbane time).
* **Duration** -- The length of time that the connection is expected to be configured at the current speed. When viewing the current month, the duration for the last configured speed is extended to the end of the 28-day billing cycle, and the price is calculated based on that duration.
* **Price** -- The cost of the connection in the market-enabled currency. The price is based on the amount of time that the connection was configured at that speed.

Optionally, click **Download CSV** to download the billing data shown in the comma-separated values (CSV) format. You can use the CSV file to import the data into spreadsheets and databases. You can open the CSV file in any text editor.

## Cancellation

Terminating the Megaport Object Storage connection in the Megaport Portal only stops Megaport Object Storage VXC billing.\
For more information, see [Terminating a Megaport Object Storage Connection](/storage/object/terminating-connection).

Terminating a Megaport Object Storage connection on a contract term will result in an early termination fee (ETF) equivalent to 100% of the remainder of the term.

For more information about Megaport Object Storage contract terms, see [Megaport Object Storage Pricing and Contract Terms](/finance/storage-pricing).

To stop storage consumption billing, delete your storage allocation in the <Link href="https://www.latitude.sh/dashboard/">Latitude.sh Portal</Link>.\
For more information about Latitude.sh billing, see <Link href="https://www.latitude.sh/docs/billing/overview">Latitude.sh Billing</Link>.
