Unsubscribing a Yearly/Monthly GaussDB Instance

Scenarios

To delete a DB instance billed on a yearly/monthly basis, you need to unsubscribe the order. Currently, DB instances cannot be unsubscribed in batches. You can unsubscribe only one instance at a time. For details, see Unsubscribing a Single Instance.

For pay-per-use DB instances, you need to delete them on the Instances page. For details, see Deleting a GaussDB Instance.

Precautions

  • After an unsubscription request is submitted, resources and data will be deleted and cannot be retrieved.
  • If you want to retain data, complete a manual backup before submitting the unsubscription request.
  • A maximum of 100 resources can be unsubscribed at a time.
  • Unsubscribed instances will be moved to the recycle bin, but will be permanently deleted after a length of time determined by the recycling policy. Automated backups are deleted with the instances, but manual backups are retained and still billed. To delete the manual backups, go to the Backups page on the console.
