Tair (Redis® OSS-Compatible):Change the billing method to pay-as-you-go

Billing

After you change the billing method of an ApsaraDB for Redis instance to pay-as-you-go, a refund is returned using the original payment method. Coupons and vouchers cannot be refunded.

The refund is calculated using the following formula: Refund = Fee actually paid - Fee for consumed resources.

• The fee actually paid is the money that you paid and does not include amounts covered by coupons or vouchers.

• The fee for consumed resources is calculated based on the following formula: Fee for consumed resources = Daily fee × Consumed subscription duration × Discount for the consumed subscription duration. The daily fee equals the order-specific fee divided by 30.

  Note

  The consumed subscription duration is accurate to the day. Any portion less than one day is counted as one day.

Precautions

• This operation will not affect the running state of the instance.

  Important

  Each pay-as-you-go ApsaraDB for Redis instance is billed and paid by hour. To prevent overdue payments that may cause downtime, ensure that your account balance is sufficient.

• The subscription billing method is more cost-effective than the pay-as-you-go billing method, and offers higher discounts for longer subscription periods. For long-term use, we recommend that you select the subscription billing method.

• Billing method switch is not available for instances that use phased out instance types.
