Changing from Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly

  • Yearly/monthly is a prepaid billing mode. You are billed based on the subscription duration you specify. This mode is ideal when the resource use duration is predictable. A longer subscription often means a lower cost.
  • Pay-per-use is a postpaid billing mode. You are billed based on your resource usage and you can increase or delete resources any time. Fees are deducted from your account balance.

If you want to use a vault for a long time, you can change its billing mode from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly to reduce cost.
