Yearly/Monthly to Pay-per-Use

After creating a yearly/monthly RocketMQ instance, you can change the billing mode to pay-per-use to reclaim some costs and use the instance more flexibly.

The pay-per-use billing mode will take effect only after the yearly/monthly subscription has expired.

Prerequisites

  • The RocketMQ instance is in the Yearly/Monthly billing mode.
  • The RocketMQ instance is in the Running state.

Changing to Pay-per-Use on the Cloud Service Console

  1. Log in to the console.
  2. Click in the upper left and choose Middleware > Distributed Message Service (for RocketMQ).
  3. Set the billing mode to change to pay-per-use after the yearly/monthly subscription expires in either of the following ways:

    • Single resource: Select the desired RocketMQ instance, and choose More > Change to Pay-per-Use After Expiration in the Operation column.
    • One or more resources: Select one or more RocketMQ instances and click Change Billing Upon Expiration in the upper left corner of the instance list. In the displayed Change Billing Upon Expiration dialog box, click Yes.

  4. Confirm the change details, and click Change to Pay-per-Use.

Changing to Pay-per-Use in Billing Center
