Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly

If you want to use a pay-per-use RabbitMQ instance for a long time, you can change the billing mode to yearly/monthly to reduce costs. If you change the billing mode from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly, a new order is generated. The yearly/monthly resource takes effect immediately when you make the payment.

Assume that you bought a pay-per-use RabbitMQ instance on Apr 18, 2023, 15:29:16, and you changed the instance's billing mode to yearly/monthly on Apr 18, 2023, 16:30:30 (a change-to-yearly/monthly order generated). After you paid the order, the RabbitMQ instance immediately entered the yearly/monthly billing mode. On the Billing Center > Bills page, three bills are generated as follows:

  • Pay-per-use: Apr 18, 2023, 15:00:00 to Apr 18, 2023, 16:00:00. Fees are generated for the period from 15:29:16 to 16:00:00.
  • Pay-per-use: Apr 18, 2023, 16:00:00 to Apr 18, 2023, 17:00:00. Fees are generated for the period from 16:00:00 to 16:30:30.
  • Yearly/Monthly: Apr 18, 2023, 16:30:30
