For service scenarios that are stable long-term with heavy traffic, the subscription billing method ensures long-term availability and stability of resources, and avoids cost spikes or resource shortages caused by sudden usage bursts. A pay-as-you-go instance can be converted to a subscription instance to obtain greater price discounts.
This operation applies only to non-Serverless series (subscription and pay-as-you-go) instances. Serverless series instances do not support billing method conversion.
Change rules
This operation applies only to non-Serverless series (subscription and pay-as-you-go) instances.
The conversion does not change the instance ID or endpoints. During the conversion, instance operation and message sending and receiving are not affected.
The instance to be converted must be in the Running state.
Currently, only conversion from pay-as-you-go to subscription is supported. Conversion from subscription to pay-as-you-go is not supported.
After you change the billing method of an instance, you are charged computing fees based on the subscription billing method and storage fees, Internet access fees, and elastic TPS fees based on the pay-as-you-go billing method.
