Billing Termination

Yearly/Monthly DB Instances

When you purchase a yearly/monthly resource, for example, a yearly/monthly DB instance, you make a one-time up-front payment. By default, the billing automatically stops when the purchased subscription expires.

  • If you no longer need a DB instance, but the subscription has not yet expired, you can unsubscribe from it. Depending on what coupons were used for the purchase and on if 5-day unconditional unsubscription rules apply, Huawei Cloud may issue you a refund. For details about unsubscription rules, see Unsubscriptions.
  • If you have enabled auto-renewal but no longer wish to automatically renew the subscription, disable it before the auto-renewal date (7 days before the expiration date by default) to avoid unexpected expenditures.

Pay-per-Use DB Instances

If pay-per-use resources, for example, pay-per-use DB instances, are no longer required, delete them in a timely manner.

Searching for DB Instances from Bills and Stopping Billing

To ensure that all DB instances are deleted, you can search the billing records by instance name, and then delete the DB instances you identify in this way.

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. On the top menu bar of the console, choose Billing > Bills. The Dashboard page is displayed.
  3. On the Expenditure Details page of the Billing Center, copy the resource name.

  4. Click in the upper left corner of the page, choose Databases > TaurusDB.
  5. Enter the name of the DB instance copied in 3 in the search box and click .

  6. Locate the DB instance and click More > Delete in the Operation column. Ensure that the DB instance has been removed from the list.

    The system usually deducts fees of the last settlement period within one hour after the products are used. As a result, after a pay-per-use resource is deleted, the bill information may still exist. For example, if you delete a DB instance (which is billed on an hourly basis) at 08:30, the expenditures for that hour from 08:00 to 09:00 are usually not billed until about 10:00.
