Customers can opt in now to get the new CUD experience. For more information, see [Spend-based CUDs\n| program improvements](/docs/cuds-multiprice).\n\nSpend-based committed use discounts (CUDs) provide a discount in exchange for\nyour commitment to spend a minimum amount for a product or service. The discount\napplies to the set of [eligible resources](/docs/cuds#spend_based_commitments)\nfor the service.\n\n[Learn about the products covered by spend-based commitments](/docs/cuds#spend_based_commitments).\n\nYou must purchase separate spend-based commitments for each Google Cloud\nservice that CUDs are available for. The CUDs apply to\neligible usage in any projects that the Cloud Billing account pays for.\n\nPurchase spend-based commitments\n--------------------------------\n\nYou can purchase spend-based CUDs in the Google Cloud console.\nThe discounts are applied to eligible usage in the applicable\nregions.\n| **Caution:** Spend-based commitments are purchased at the Cloud Billing account level, and you **can't** [cancel](#canceling_commitments) the commitments, or change the Cloud Billing account that the commitments are for.\n\nAfter you purchase a commitment, the commitment goes into effect based on which\npart of the hour it was purchased. Commitments purchased earlier than 10\nminutes before the end of the hour start at the beginning of the next hour.\nOtherwise, they start at the beginning of the hour after next. These times\nassume your local time zone. For example:\n\nIf you buy a commitment before the last 10 minutes of any hour (at :49 or\nearlier), your discount starts at the beginning of the next hour. If you buy a\ncommitment within the last 10 minutes of any hour (at :50 or later), your\ndiscount will skip an hour and start at the beginning of the hour after next.\n\nUsing this example, a commitment purchased at 4:51 PM starts at 6:00 PM, and a\ncommitment purchased at 4:49 PM starts at 5:00 PM.\n\n### Permissions required\n\nTo purchase or manage spend-based CUDs for your\nCloud Billing account, you must be a [Billing Account\nAdministrator](/billing/docs/how-to/billing-access).\n\n### Steps to purchase\n\nTo purchase spend-based committed use discounts, complete the following steps:\n\n1.

Enter your hourly **commitment amount**, in terms of equivalent discount\n spend.\n\n - This amount represents the equivalent of discount costs that you would have incurred with the committed use discount.\n - You can view the **commitment fee** , your recurring charge, in the **commitment summary**.\n - You can view the estimated savings when your commitments are fully\n utilized in the **commitment summary**.\n\n | In the legacy CUDs program, your commitment amount is the on-demand price instead.

Read the [Service Specific Terms regarding Committed\n Units](/terms/service-terms)\n\n9. Review everything you entered to verify you're committing to the correct\n amount.
