Billing Termination

Yearly/Monthly Resources

When you purchase a yearly/monthly resource, such as a yearly/monthly CFW instance, you make a one-time up-front payment. By default, the billing automatically stops when the purchased subscription expires.

  • You can unsubscribe from a yearly/monthly resource before the subscription expires. Fees for unused resource will be refunded to you based on refund conditions, including the five-day unconditional unsubscription conditions and whether cash coupons or discount coupons are used for the purchase. For details about unsubscription rules, see Unsubscriptions.
  • 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 details about how to unsubscribe from CFW resources, see How Do I Unsubscribe from CFW?.

Pay-per-Use Resources

For resources billed on a pay-per-use basis, such as the pay-per-use CFW instances, you need to unsubscribe from them if you no longer need them. The billing stops once you complete the unsubscription.

The system usually deducts fees of the last settlement period within one hour after the products are used. As a result, after a pay-per-use resource is deleted, the bill information may still exist. For example, if you release a CFW (which is billed on an hourly basis) at 08:30, the expenditures for the hour from 08:00 to 09:00 are usually not billed until about 10:00.
