Stop paying for a Data Management (DMS) feature you no longer need by unsubscribing from it. Three DMS features are billable: Stable Change control mode, Security Collaboration control mode, and sensitive data protection. Each supports pay-as-you-go and subscription (monthly or annual) billing.
Before you begin
Review the impacts for each feature before proceeding.
Sensitive data protection
Unsubscribing from sensitive data protection for a database instance does not delete existing data classification information, such as configured data masking rules. Data classification information is deleted only when you disable the feature. For more information, see Disable the sensitive data protection feature.
Stable Change and Security Collaboration control modes
If you unsubscribe from Stable Change or Security Collaboration control mode, all database instances managed under that control mode are disabled in DMS. The instances themselves continue to run as expected, but they become inaccessible in DMS until you re-enable them. For more information, see Disable or enable database instances.
Billing after unsubscription
Pay-as-you-go resources are billed daily. If you unsubscribe today, a bill for today's usage is still generated. No bills are generated from tomorrow onward.

I used vouchers when purchasing a DMS subscription. Are the vouchers refunded if I unsubscribe?
No. Vouchers used for the purchase cannot be refunded. Only the fees for the remaining unused quota are refunded.
Why am I still receiving bills after unsubscribing from a pay-as-you-go DMS resource?
Pay-as-you-go DMS resources are billed daily. If you unsubscribe today, the bill for today's usage is still generated. Bills stop from tomorrow onward.
