Overview

You can change the billing mode later if it no longer meets your needs.

  • Pay-per-use: On the CCE console, you can change the billing mode of clusters and nodes from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly, as shown in Table 1.
  • Yearly/Monthly: Yearly/monthly clusters and nodes can be changed to pay-per-use ones only after they expire. For details, see Yearly/Monthly to Pay-per-Use. Yearly/Monthly resources cannot be deleted after being created. To stop using them, go to Billing Center and unsubscribe from them.

You can change the billing modes of other cloud service resources on their respective consoles. For details, see their billing descriptions.

The billing modes of nodes cannot be changed on the ECS console.

Billed Item

Change Description

Cluster

When changing the billing mode of a cluster, pay-per-use nodes in the cluster can be changed to yearly/monthly nodes.

ECS

ECS flavor

When changing the billing mode of a node, the billing mode of resources like computing resources (vCPUs and memory) and system disk will also be changed. You can change the billing mode from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly to get a price discount.

EVS disks (including system disks and data disks)

The billing mode of the system disks and data disks attached to a node cannot be changed on the EVS console. You need to change their billing modes together with the node on the CCE console.

EIP

When you change the billing mode of a node to yearly/monthly on the CCE console, the EIP's billing mode will also be changed to yearly/monthly. If the billing mode of the EIP bound to a node cannot be changed to yearly/monthly, changing the billing mode of the node will not change that of the EIP. You need to change the billing mode of the EIP on the EIP console.

The rules for changing the EIP billing mode are as follows:

  • A yearly/monthly EIP can be changed to a pay-per-use EIP billed by bandwidth after the yearly/monthly subscription ends.
  • A pay-per-use EIP billed by bandwidth can be changed to a yearly/monthly EIP.
  • Pay-per-use EIPs billed by bandwidth can be changed to pay-per-use EIPs billed by traffic, and pay-per-use EIPs billed by traffic can be changed to pay-per-use EIPs billed by bandwidth.
