Changing Yearly/Monthly to Pay-per-Use

After creating a load balancer, you can change its billing mode from yearly/monthly to pay-per-use to save costs and use the load balancer more flexibly.

Changing Yearly/Monthly to Pay-per-Use Immediately

  1. Go to the load balancer list page.
  2. On the displayed page, locate the target load balancer and choose More > Change to Pay-per-Use Immediately in the Operation column.
  3. On the Change to Pay-Per-Use page, confirm the information and click Change to Pay-Per-Use.

Changing Yearly/Monthly to Pay-per-Use upon Expiration

  1. Go to the load balancer list page.
  2. Locate the load balancer and choose More > Change to Pay-per-Use upon Expiration in the Operation column.
  3. On the Change to Pay-per-Use After Expiration page, confirm the information and click Change to Pay-per-Use.

Yearly/Monthly billing can only be changed to pay-per-use billing in certain regions. You can check which regions support this function on the console.
