Overview of Billing Mode Changes
If the current billing mode of resources does not meet service requirements, you can change the billing mode to a more appropriate one.
Pay-per-use: Apply for resources first, and then pay only for the actual resource usage.
Yearly/Monthly: Subscribe to resources for 1 month, 1 year, multiple months, or multiple years and pay for them at a time. Once payment is completed, the resources are allocated to you. If not renewed upon expiration, they will be released.

- The billing change from yearly/monthly to pay-per-use immediately cannot be canceled.
