Refund policies apply differently to subscription and pay-as-you-go resources.
Subscription
Subscription resources support unsubscription from active instances and cancellation of renewal periods. Before you unsubscribe from a Managed Service for Prometheus instance, review the following rules, notes, and examples. For more information, see Unsubscription Rules for International Site.
Unsubscription rules
-
Refund formula: Refund amount = Amount paid - Usage cost
-
Amount paid: The cash paid for the order, excluding amounts covered by a voucher or coupon.
-
Usage cost = Daily price (Monthly price / 30) × Usage duration × Original order discount.
The daily price is calculated based on the original price of the order. For example, if the monthly price of a subscription instance was USD 298/month at the time of purchase and the price has since increased to USD 398/month, the daily price is still calculated based on the original purchase price: USD 298/30 per day.
NoteUsage duration is measured in days. A partial day counts as a full day.
