Monthly Fee Structure and Billing Rules
The Cancels Report costs $1,000 per month.

Mid-month subscriptions are prorated and fees are assessed on a look-back basis based on the maximum number of subscribing Ports a firm had in the prior calendar month.
Sponsored Participants Can Buy Reports Directly
Starting July 25, 2025, Sponsored Participants may subscribe to and be billed directly for Cboe Timestamping Service reports rather than receiving filtered data from their Sponsoring Member. The same fees that currently apply to Members will apply when a Sponsored Participant subscribes directly.
What the Reports Provide and Timing Limits
The two optional reports are the Cancels Report and the Missed Liquidity Report. They contain historical, recipient-firm-only timestamps available on a T+1 basis and do not include real-time market data; the Missed Liquidity Report uses Exchange-determined timing not exceeding 1 millisecond after the first attempt and 100 microseconds before the first attempt.
