This topic describes the limits and procedures for modifying the configuration of a pay-as-you-go elastic IP address (EIP).
Procedure
You can change the maximum bandwidth value and metering method of a pay-as-you-go EIP.
Before you perform this operation, take note of the following limits.
Limit | Effective time | Impact on billing | Scenario |
After you modify the metering method of a pay-as-you-go EIP, you cannot modify the maximum bandwidth of the EIP before the new metering method takes effect. |
| After you modify a pay-as-you-go EIP and submit the order, the system bills the EIP based on the modified configuration. For more information about the billing rules for pay-as-you-go EIPs, see Pay-as-you-go. | If the maximum bandwidth of a pay-as-you-go EIP cannot meet your business requirements, you can modify the maximum bandwidth. |
- Log on to the Elastic IP Address console .
- In the top navigation bar, select the region where the EIP is created.
On the Elastic IP Addresses page, find the EIP that you want to manage and choose
