:Change the billing method of a cluster from subscription to pay-as-you-go

Last Updated:Mar 04, 2024

This topic describes how to change the billing method of a PolarDB cluster from subscription to pay-as-you-go.

Prerequisites

  • Your cluster is in the Running state.

  • Your cluster does not have a temporary upgrade task in progress or scheduled tasks of configuration changes.

  • Make sure that your account balance is sufficient to prevent service downtime that is caused by overdue payments after you change the billing method of the cluster from subscription to pay-as-you-go.

Usage notes

The billing method of the storage resources in a subscription cluster cannot be changed from subscription to pay-as-you-go. However, you can change the subscription cluster to a pay-as-you-go cluster in which the storage resources are billed by using the pay-as-you-go method.

Pricing

After you change the billing method of the cluster from subscription to pay-as-you-go, a subscription refund is returned to your original payment account. Note that only the actual paid amount is refunded to the original payment channel. Vouchers or coupons that were redeemed cannot be returned.

Impacts

The operations in this topic do not affect the running of the cluster.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the PolarDB console.
  2. In the upper-left corner of the console, select the region in which the cluster that you want to manage is deployed.
  3. Find the cluster for which you want to change the billing method and then choose More > Switch to Pay-as-you-go in the Actions column.

  4. On the Switch to Pay-as-you-go page, confirm the cluster information, select the Terms of Service, and then click Buy Now.

    Note
    • The new billing method takes effect after you pay for the order.

    • If the order is unpaid or the payment fails, an unfinished order appears on the Orders page. You cannot purchase additional cluster or change the billing method of the cluster from subscription to pay-as-you-go before you complete the payment. In this case, you need to pay for or cancel the order.
