Unsubscribing from a Yearly/Monthly Instance

Scenarios

To delete a DB instance billed on the yearly/monthly basis, you need to unsubscribe from the order. You can unsubscribe from a single instance by referring to Unsubscribing from a Single DB Instance (Method 1) and Unsubscribing from a Single DB Instance (Method 2).

If you unsubscribe from a DB instance, its read replicas (if any) will also be unsubscribed.

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