You can change the billing method of a PolarDB cluster from subscription to pay-as-you-go based on your business requirements.
Prerequisites
- Your cluster is in the Running state.
- Your cluster is not in the progress of a temporary upgrade.
- Make sure that your account balance is sufficient to prevent service downtime that is caused by overdue payments after you switch the billing method to pay-as-you-go.
Pricing
After you change the billing method of the cluster from subscription to pay-as-you-go, a subscription refund is returned to your original payment account.
Refund = (Number of remaining days/Total days) × Order cash amount
Note
- The order cash amount indicates the actual paid cash amount that excludes vouchers and coupons.
- You are not charged for service fees when you change the billing method from subscription to pay-as-you-go.
