Billing Termination

To prevent resource waste and unnecessary fees, you can stop billing for unused resources.

Yearly/Monthly Resources

For yearly/monthly-billed resources, such as a yearly/monthly professional SA, you pay the bills when you purchase them. Billing automatically stops when the 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 details, see Unsubscription.
  • If you have enabled the auto-renewal function, disable it before the auto-renewal deduction date (seven days before the expiration date by default) to avoid unexpected fees.
  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Security & Compliance > Situation Awareness.
  3. Click Standard or Professional in the upper right corner. A window for you to manage SA assets will be displayed.
  4. In the row of the ECS quota billed on a yearly/monthly basis, click Unsubscribe.

  5. Locate the row that contains the target instance, and click Unsubscribe in the Operation column.
  6. Confirm the information about the resource to be unsubscribed, select the unsubscription reason, and select I understand a handling fee will be charged for this unsubscription.
  7. Click Confirm.

    Go to the edition management window and verify that the subscription to the ECS quota that is billed yearly/monthly is canceled.

Pay-per-Use Resources

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

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Security & Compliance > Situation Awareness.
  3. Click Professional in the upper right corner. The edition management window is displayed.
  4. In the row of the SA edition purchased in pay-per-use billing mode, click Cancel to release the purchased SA resources.
