Yearly/Monthly to Pay-per-Use

After creating a yearly/monthly cluster or node, you can change it to a pay-per-use cluster or node for more flexibility.

The pay-per-use billing takes effect only after the yearly/monthly subscription expires.

Prerequisites

The billing mode can only be changed from yearly/monthly to pay-per-use for a CCE cluster or node whose order status is Provisioned. You can view the order status on the Billing & Costs > Renewal page.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the CCE console.
  2. Hover over Billing & Costs in the upper part of the console and choose Renewal from the drop-down list.

    The Renewals page is displayed.

  3. Customize the search criteria.

    • On the Pay-per-Use After Expiration tab, you can search for the resources with the billing mode changed to pay-per-use.
    • On the Manual Renewals, Auto Renewals, and Renewals Canceled tabs, you can also change the billing mode of the resources to pay-per-use billing upon expiration.
