    Edge Security Acceleration:How do I deactivate or stop the billing of DCDN?

    Last Updated:Jun 18, 2026

    Directly deactivating Dynamic Content Delivery Network (DCDN) may interrupt your business, so the console does not provide a one-click deactivation option. However, as long as no domain names are added to DCDN and no features such as edge security or EdgeRoutine are in use, no charges are incurred. To fully stop billing, perform the following operations:

    • Disable real-time log delivery: If you have enabled the real-time log delivery feature, disable the feature and clear the logs that are stored in Log Service before you remove domain names. For more information, see Real-time log delivery.

    • Disable DDoS mitigation: If you have enabled the DDoS mitigation feature, disable the feature before you remove domain names. For more information, see DDoS mitigation.

    • Disable WAF: If you have enabled the WAF feature, disable the feature before you remove domain names. For more information, see Getting started with WAF (new edition).

    • Delete routines: If you have activated EdgeRoutine, delete routines before you remove domain names. For more information, see Use EdgeRoutine in the DCDN console.

    • Deactivate EdgeKV: If you have activated the EdgeKV feature, deactivate the feature before you remove domain names. For more information, see EdgeKV.

    • Remove domain names: If you have added domain names to DCDN, remove all domain names. After you remove the domain names, DCDN disables the acceleration service and stops charging you for the domain names. For more information, see Add a domain name. If you have added domain names to IP Application Accelerator (IPA), remove the domain names. For more information, see Add a domain name to IPA.

    Disabling a domain name does not stop billing. Some requests may still be routed to DCDN nodes, and you will be charged for the resulting egress traffic and requests. To stop all charges for a domain name, you must delete it.

    DCDN uses a pay-as-you-go billing model. After you delete a domain name, you may still receive a bill within two to three days for usage incurred before the deletion. This is expected behavior in the normal billing cycle.
