Why Was I Charged Fees After My GaussDB(DWS) Free Trial Expired?

As stated on the GaussDB(DWS) activity page, the cluster you created will not be automatically released when the free trial expires. If you do not delete the cluster manually, the system will charge you for that cluster.

To avoid additional fees, log in to the GaussDB(DWS) management console and go to the Clusters > Dedicated Clusters page to delete your cluster if you do not wish to use it after the trial period ends. If the cluster has an EIP, select Release the EIP bound to the cluster. in the Delete Cluster dialog box. If you do not release the EIP, it will be billed as per VPC EIP pricing rule.
