    Switch between pay-by-bandwidth and pay-by-data-transfer

    You can switch the metering method of a pay-as-you-go EIP between pay-by-bandwidth and pay-by-data-transfer. You can also modify the maximum bandwidth of the EIP.

    If you modify only the maximum bandwidth of the EIP, the new bandwidth immediately takes effect. If you change the metering method of an EIP, take note of the following information:

    • The new metering method takes effect at 00:00:00 (UTC+8) the next day.

    • Before the new metering method takes effect, you cannot modify the maximum bandwidth of the EIP.

    1. Log on to the Elastic IP Address console .
    2. In the top navigation bar, select the region where the EIP is created.

    3. On the Elastic IP Addresses page, find the EIP and choose 更多操作 > Change Specification > Modify Configuration in the Actions column.

    4. On the Elastic IP | Upgrade/Downgrade page, set the parameters, select Terms of Service, and then click Buy Now.

      • Maximum Bandwidth: Select a maximum bandwidth. You can increase or decrease the maximum bandwidth. However, you cannot set the maximum bandwidth to 0 Mbit/s.

      • Data Transfer: Select a metering method. You can select Pay-By-Data-Transfer or Pay-By-Bandwidth.

    Cancel a pending order

    You can cancel pending orders for switching metering methods of EIPs. You cannot cancel orders that have taken effect. After you cancel a pending order, you cannot revoke the cancellation. Proceed with caution.

    1. Log on to the Elastic IP Address console .
    2. In the top navigation bar, select the region where the EIP is created.
