Unsubscribing a Yearly/Monthly Instance

Scenarios

To unsubscribe an instance billed on a yearly/monthly basis, you need to unsubscribe the order first. After you unsubscribe the instance order, all resources including read replicas of the instance are also deleted.

Procedure

Unsubscribe a yearly/monthly instance on the Instances page.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
3. Click in the upper left corner of the page, choose Database > GaussDB(for MySQL).
4. On the Instances page, locate the instance you want to unsubscribe and choose More > Unsubscribe in the Operation column. In the displayed dialog box, click Yes.
5. On the displayed page, confirm the order to be unsubscribed and select a reason. Then, click Confirm.
6. In the displayed dialog box, click Yes.
   

   1. Unsubscribed instances will be moved to the recycle bin. You can rebuild the instances from the recycle bin within the retention period.
   2. If you unsubscribe an instance, its automated backups are also deleted, but manual backups are still retained and will incur additional costs. To delete the manual backups, go to the Backups page on the console.
   3. If you want to retain data, complete a manual backup before submitting the unsubscription request.

7. View the unsubscription result. After the instance order is successfully unsubscribed, the instance will be deleted.
