Subscription instances and clusters support refunds. Pay-as-you-go instances and clusters are not eligible for refunds — release or delete them directly in the ApsaraDB for SelectDB console.
Warning
Unsubscribing from an ApsaraDB for SelectDB instance permanently releases all associated resources, including computing resources, cache, and storage. All data is deleted. Proceed with caution.
Scope
The refund policy applies only to subscription instances and clusters. To stop using a pay-as-you-go instance or cluster, release or delete it directly in the console. For instructions, see Delete an instance and Delete a cluster.
