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.

Method 1

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 Databases > 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.

   For unsubscription details, see Unsubscription Rules.

6. In the displayed dialog box, click Yes.
   

   1. Unsubscribed DB 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, but manual backups are retained and still billed. To delete the manual backups, go to the Backups page on the console.
   2. 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.
