The present application discloses a paging monitoring method, a terminal, and a computer device. The method includes determining a first extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle configured by radio access network (RAN) in response to the terminal being in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, wherein the first eDRX cycle is configured to monitor RAN paging and/or core network (CN) paging; and monitoring paging based on the first eDRX cycle. According to the method, the terminal monitors the RAN paging and/or the CN paging on the basis of the same extended discontinuous reception cycle, and when the terminal is in the RRC inactive state, the overlap of monitoring timings of the terminal for the RAN paging and the CN paging is improved, the time for monitoring the paging by the terminal is shortened, and the resource consumption of the terminal is reduced.
