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 WAF instance, 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 whether cash coupons or discount coupons are used. For details about unsubscription rules, see Unsubscriptions.
  • 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.

Pay-per-Use Resources

If you no longer need a pay-per-use cloud WAF instance, you can disable the billing on the Product Details page on the WAF console. If you no longer need a pay-per-use dedicated WAF instance, you can delete it on the Instance Management > Dedicated Engine page. The billing stops upon the deletion.
