Overview

You can also change the billing mode of your NAT gateway later if it no longer meets your needs.

  • If you change the billing mode of a public NAT gateway from yearly/monthly to pay-per-use, the pay-per-use billing mode will take effect after the original yearly/monthly subscription has expired.
  • If you change the billing mode of a public NAT gateway from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly, the new billing mode will take effect immediately.
  • Private NAT gateway supports only the pay-per-use billing mode (hourly) and the billing mode cannot be changed.
