Changing the Billing Mode of a VPN Gateway from Pay-Per-Use to Yearly/Monthly

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select the desired region and project.
3. Click in the upper left corner of the page, and choose Networking > Virtual Private Network.
4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Virtual Private Network > Enterprise – VPN Gateways.
5. Locate the target pay-per-use VPN gateway, and choose More > Change Billing Mode in the Operation column.
   • You can change the billing mode of the VPN gateway and bound EIPs to yearly/monthly simultaneously. Alternatively, you can only change the billing mode of the VPN gateway to yearly/monthly, and retain the billing mode of the bound EIPs as pay-per-use.

     Only when the EIPs bound to a VPN gateway are billed by bandwidth in pay-per-use mode, you can change the billing modes of the VPN gateway and EIPs to yearly/monthly simultaneously.

   • Billing formula change

     Assume that X VPN connection groups are in use before the billing mode is changed to yearly/monthly. Then, after the billing mode is changed, the billing formula changes to: Fee of the VPN gateway + Fee of (X – 10) VPN connection groups.

6. In the Change Billing Mode dialog box, click OK.
7. On the Change Subscription page that is displayed, confirm the information about the VPN gateway and configure the usage duration.
8. Click Pay.
9. On the payment page, confirm the order information, select a coupon or discount, and select the payment method.
10. Click Pay.
    

    Changing the billing mode of a VPN gateway from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly will not affect your services.
