AnalyticDB for MySQL supports refunds for subscription clusters and resource release for pay-as-you-go clusters.
Warning
After you unsubscribe from a subscription cluster or release a pay-as-you-go cluster, computing and I/O resources are immediately released and all stored data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution.
Refund rules

Full refund: If you renewed a subscription and the new subscription period has not yet started, cancel it to get a full refund. If the new subscription period has already started, only a partial refund applies. For refund calculation rules and precautions, see Rules for unsubscribing from resources. |
| Pay-as-you-go | Not applicable | Pay-as-you-go clusters charge only for resources used. To stop incurring charges, release the cluster in the console. For more information, see Delete or unsubscribe from a cluster. |
