Changing the Billing Mode

If the billing mode of your dedicated resource pool cannot meet your service requirements, you can change the billing mode.

If you want to use a pay-per-use dedicated resource pool for a long time, you can change the billing mode of it to yearly/monthly to reduce costs. By doing so, a new order is generated. After you pay the order, the yearly/monthly resource takes effect immediately.

Assume that you purchase a pay-per-use dedicated resource pool on April 18, 2023 at 15:29:16. Due to service requirements, you change the billing mode from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly on April 18, 2023 at 16:30:30 and a change-to-yearly/monthly order is generated. After you pay for the order, the dedicated resource pool immediately enters the yearly/monthly billing mode. The following bills are generated in the Billing Center:

  • Pay-per-use: 2023/04/18 15:00:00 to 2023/04/18 16:00:00. Fees are generated between 15:29:16 and 16:00:00.
  • Pay-per-use: 2023/04/18 16:00:00 to 2023/04/18 17:00:00. Fees are generated between 16:00:00 and 16:30:30.
  • Yearly/Monthly: 2023/04/18 16:30:30

Constraints

  • Currently, you can only change the billing mode from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly.
  • Public resource pools cannot be purchased separately, and the billing mode cannot be changed.
  • The billing mode of the target dedicated resource pool must be pay-per-use.
  • Only the billing mode of those resources in the Enabled status can be changed.
  • The billing mode can be changed only for dedicated resource pools, but not for flavors.
  • All nodes of the target dedicated resource pool must use the same billing mode (pay-per-use or yearly/monthly).
