Stopping Billing

Yearly/Monthly Resources

For yearly/monthly resources, you need to pay for them at a time when purchasing them. The services will be automatically stopped after they expire.

• If a yearly/monthly resource is no longer needed within the billing cycle, you can unsubscribe from it. A certain amount of money will be returned to your account based on whether the resource meets the requirements of five-day unconditional unsubscription and whether cash coupons and discount coupons are used.
• If you have enabled auto-renewal, disable it before the auto-renewal deduction date (seven days before the expiration date by default) to avoid further fees.

Pay-per-Use Resources

If pay-per-use billing mode resources are no longer used, delete them to stop billing.

Searching for Cloud Service Resources Based on Bill Information and Stopping Billing

To ensure that all billed resources can be found and deleted, obtain the IDs of these resources from the bills, find the specific resources with the IDs, and delete them.

You can use the resource ID to search for notebook development environments. The procedure is as follows.

• If a notebook instance is created using a public resource pool, the billing will stop after you delete the instance.
• If a notebook instance is created using a dedicated resource pool, you must delete the dedicated resource pool to stop the billing.
• If you use storage resources, such as OBS and SFS, for running a notebook instance, you must delete the data stored in the storage services accordingly.

1. Go to the Billing > Expenditure Details page.
2. In the bill list, click to copy the resource ID.

3. Log in to the ModelArts management console and choose DevEnviron > Notebook.
4. To find the resource, select ID from the filter options above the notebook list and paste the resource ID copied in 2 in the search box.

5. Choose More > Delete in the Operation column to delete the notebook instance.
   

   You are billed one hour after the resource usage is calculated, so a bill may still be generated after the pay-per-use resource is deleted. For example, suppose you delete some training job resources that are billed by hour at 08:30. Then, you will likely get billed for the usage from 08:00 to 09:00 around 10:00.

You can use the resource name to search for training jobs. The procedure is as follows.

• If a training job is created using a public resource pool, the billing will stop after you stop the job.
• If a training job is created using a dedicated resource pool, you must delete the dedicated resource pool to stop the billing.
• If you use storage resources, such as OBS, for running a training job, you must delete the data stored in the storage services accordingly.

1. Go to the Billing > Expenditure Details page.
2. In the bill list, click to copy the resource name.

3. Log in to the ModelArts management console and choose Training Management > Training Jobs.
4. To find the resource, select Name from the filter options above the training job list and paste the resource name copied in 2 in the search box.

5. Click Stop in the Operation column to stop the training job.
   

   You are billed one hour after the resource usage is calculated, so a bill may still be generated after the pay-per-use resource is deleted. For example, suppose you delete some training job resources that are billed by hour at 08:30. Then, you will likely get billed for the usage from 08:00 to 09:00 around 10:00.

For real-time and batch services, the resource ID is different from that reported in the bills. To obtain the bill and stop the billing, do as follows:

• If a real-time or batch service is created using a public resource pool, the billing will stop after you stop the service.
• If a real-time or batch service is created using a dedicated resource pool, you must delete the dedicated resource pool to stop the billing.
• If you use storage resources, such as OBS, for running a real-time job, you must delete the data stored in the storage services accordingly.

1. Go to the Billing > Expenditure Details page.
2. In the bill list, view the resource ID. The resource ID combination rule is Real-time service name-AI application ID. This way, you can tell which real-time service the resource ID belongs to.
   

   If the resource ID in a bill contains multiple hyphens (-), you can copy the content before the first hyphen (-).

3. Search for the resource on the cloud service console based on the resource name and delete the resource.
   1. On the ModelArts management console and choose Service Deployment > Real-Time Services.
   2. To find the resource, select Name from the filter options above the service list and paste the real-time service name copied in 2 in the search box.
   3. Choose More > Stop in the Operation column to stop the real-time service.
      

      You are billed one hour after the resource usage is calculated, so a bill may still be generated after the pay-per-use resource is deleted. For example, if compute resources billed by hour are deleted at 08:30, the fees generated from 08:00 to 09:00 are usually deducted at about 10:00.

For a resource pool, you can search for a resource by resource name. The procedure is as follows:

1. Go to the Billing > Expenditure Details page.
2. In the bill list, click to copy the resource name.

3. Log in to the ModelArts management console. In the navigation pane, choose Dedicated Resource Pools > Elastic Cluster.
4. Paste the resource name copied in 2 in the search box and click to search for the resource.
5. Choose More > Delete in the Operation column to delete the resource pool. Ensure that the resource pool has been deleted from the list.
   

   After a pay-per-use resource is deleted, the bill information may still exist because the system usually deducts the fee of the previous settlement period within one hour after the resource is used. For example, if dedicated resource pool resources billed by hour are deleted at 08:30, the fees generated from 08:00 to 09:00 are usually deducted at about 10:00.
