Does Pay-per-Use Billing Stop When My Cluster Stops?

Yes. The system settles the fees by hour for the pay-per-use mode. You can use the service as long as your account balance is sufficient. To reduce costs:

• Choose More > Stop in the Operation column to stop the cluster. After a cluster is stopped, only basic resources (vCPUs and memory) are not charged. The public IP address and bandwidth assigned to the cluster are still charged.
• Delete the purchased clusters if you will not be needing them, and create new ones when needed.
• Switch to the yearly/monthly mode that allows you to use the service within the specific period of time without additional fees.
