Scenarios

To delete a DB instance billed in the yearly/monthly mode, you need to unsubscribe the order. You can unsubscribe a single instance order by referring to Unsubscribing a Single DB Instance (Method 1) and Unsubscribing a Single DB Instance (Method 2) or unsubscribe multiple instance orders at a time by referring to Unsubscribing DB Instances in Batches. For unsubscription fees, see Unsubscription Rules.

When you unsubscribe a DB instance order, the primary DB instance and its read replicas (if any) are deleted. However, the orders of read replicas will not be deleted automatically. You need to manually unsubscribe the read replica orders. Otherwise, you are still charged for the read replica orders. The method of unsubscribing read replica orders is the same as that of unsubscribing DB instance orders.

To unsubscribe DB instances or read replicas billed in the pay-per-use mode, you need to locate the target DB instances or read replicas and click Delete on the Instance Management page. For details, see Deleting a Pay-per-Use DB Instance or Read Replica.
