Changing the Billing Mode from Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly

DRS allows you to change the billing mode from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly. If you need to use DRS for a long time, you can change the billing mode to yearly/monthly for lower costs.

  • Migration tasks: Only the pay-per-use billing is supported.
  • Synchronization tasks: Only non-frozen and incremental tasks can be changed from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly.
  • DR tasks: Only tasks that are not frozen and in the DR state can be changed from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly. For dual-active DR, the billing mode can be changed from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly only when both the forward and backward subtasks are in DR state.
  • Changing the billing mode from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly does not affect your services.
