Unsubscriptions and refunds apply only to subscription products, such as subscription instances and resource plans. If you want to stop a service, Alibaba Cloud revokes the resource and refunds the corresponding payment based on the unsubscription rules. Pay-as-you-go products do not involve refunds. To stop billing for pay-as-you-go products, you can release or delete the resource in the Alibaba Cloud Management Console by following the instructions for the specific billable item.
Product unsubscription on Alibaba Cloud covers the following main scenarios: unsubscribing from resources in use, unsubscribing from unactivated renewal cycles, automatic unsubscription due to a resource creation or change failure, refunds for resource downgrades, refunds for converting from subscription to pay-as-you-go, and refunds for physical goods.
