Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly
If you have a pay-per-use vault that you expect to use for a long time, you can change it to yearly/monthly billing to reduce costs. Doing so will create an order. After you pay for the order, yearly/monthly billing will be applied immediately.
Suppose a user bought a pay-per-use server backup vault at 15:29:16 on April 18, 2023 and changed it to yearly/monthly billing at 16:30:30 on the same day. After the user paid for the order, yearly/monthly billing was applied immediately. On the Billing & Costs > Bills page, two line items were generated, one for each of the hours the vault was used on a pay-per-use basis, and one for the yearly/monthly subscription:
- Pay-per-use expenditures for April 18, 2023, 15:00:00 to April 18, 2023, 17:00:00
- Yearly/Monthly expenditure for April 18, 2023, 16:30:30 to May 18, 2023, 23:59:59
