Billing Termination

Yearly/Monthly

When you purchase a UCS package, you make a one-time up-front payment. By default, the billing automatically stops when the subscription expires.

• If you no longer need a yearly/monthly resource, but the subscription has not yet expired, you can unsubscribe from it. Depending on what coupons were used for the purchase, Huawei Cloud may issue you a refund. For details about unsubscription rules, see Unsubscription Rules. UCS packages do support 5-day full refund.
• 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

If a cluster connected to UCS on a pay-per-use basis is no longer used, you can deregister it to avoid additional costs.

   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 you delete a cluster (which is billed on an hourly basis) at 08:30, the expenditures for the hour from 08:00 to 09:00 are usually not billed until about 10:00.
