Billing Termination

If you no longer need a service mesh, you can delete it to stop billing as follows:

Yearly/Monthly: Unsubscribe from the service mesh.
Pay-per-use or free: Uninstall the service mesh.

Constraints

To uninstall or unsubscribe from a service mesh of the Enterprise edition, remove all clusters from the service mesh.
For a yearly/monthly service mesh of the Dedicated edition, change it to the Basic edition by unsubscribing from it and then uninstall the Basic edition.
To uninstall or unsubscribe from a service mesh in which a grayscale release task is running, complete the grayscale release first.
To uninstall a service mesh of the Basic or Dedicated edition, ensure that there are available nodes in the cluster for running the cleanup task to avoid uninstallation failures.

Yearly/Monthly Resources

When you purchase a yearly/monthly service mesh, you make a one-time up-front payment. By default, the billing automatically stops when the subscription expires.

If you no longer need a service mesh, but the subscription has not yet expired, you can unsubscribe from it. Depending on what coupons were used for the purchase, Huawei Cloud may issue you a refund. For details, see Unsubscribing from In-Use Resources.
If you have enabled auto-renewal but no longer wish to automatically renew the subscription, disable it before the auto-renewal date (7 days before the expiration date by default) to avoid unexpected expenditures.

For a yearly/monthly service mesh, even if you have deleted the clusters, the service mesh will still be billed until successful unsubscription.
