This topic describes how to switch an ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance from pay-as-you-go to subscription.
Prerequisites
- The instance type of your RDS instance is not deprecated. For more information, see Primary instance types. If the instance type of your RDS instance is deprecated, you must change the instance type before you switch the instance from pay-as-you-go to subscription. For more information, see Change the specifications of an ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL instance.
- Your RDS instance uses the pay-as-you-go billing method.
- Your RDS instance is in the Running state.
- Your RDS instance does not have an unpaid subscription order.
Note Read-only RDS instances that use standard or enhanced SSDs do not support the subscription
billing method.
Impacts
This operation does not have impacts on the running of your RDS instance.
Precautions
- If your RDS instance has an unpaid subscription order, the order becomes invalid when you change the instance type. In this case, you must cancel the order in the Billing Management console. Then, you can change the billing method of your RDS instance again.
