Changing Yearly/Monthly to Pay-per-Use

Updated on 2024-10-18 GMT+08:00

Scenarios

Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid billing mode in which your ECS will be billed based on service duration. This cost-effective mode is ideal when the duration of ECS usage is predictable.

If you require a more flexible billing mode, in which your ECS will be billed based on usage frequency and duration, you can change the billing mode from yearly/monthly to pay-per-use.

NOTE:
You can change the billing mode from yearly/monthly to pay-per-use in either of the following ways:
  • Change to pay-per-use immediately: The pay-per-use billing mode takes effect immediately.
  • Change to pay-per-use upon expiration: The pay-per-use billing mode takes effect only after the yearly/monthly subscription has expired.

Constraints

  • You have passed real-name authentication.
  • You can change the billing mode from yearly/monthly to pay-per-use only for ECSs whose status is Provisioned on the Renewals page.
  • The billing modes of products in a solution portfolio cannot be changed from yearly/monthly to pay-per-use.

Change to Pay-per-Use Immediately

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select your region and project.
  3. Under Compute, select Elastic Cloud Server.
  4. In the ECS list, select one or more ECSs.
  5. Choose More > Manage Billing > Change to Pay-per-Use Immediately in the upper left corner above the ECS list.
  6. In the displayed dialog box, click OK. Then you are switched to Billing Center.
  7. Confirm or select the ECSs for which you want to change the billing mode.
  8. Confirm the refund information and click Change to Pay-Per-Use.
  9. In the displayed dialog box, confirm the resources again and click OK.

Changing to Pay-per-Use upon Expiration (Console)

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select your region and project.
  3. Under Compute, select Elastic Cloud Server.
  4. In the ECS list, select one or more ECSs.
  5. Choose More > Manage Billing > Change to Pay-per-Use upon Expiration in the upper left corner above the ECS list.
  6. In the displayed dialog box, click OK. Then you are switched to Billing Center.
  7. Confirm or select the ECSs for which you want to change the billing mode.
  8. Click Change to Pay-Per-Use.

Change to Pay-per-Use upon Expiration (Billing Center)

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. On the top navigation bar, choose Billing > Renewal.

    The Renewals page is displayed.

  3. Customize search criteria.
    • On the Pay-per-Use After Expiration tab, you can search for the ECSs with the billing mode changed to pay-per-use.
    • On the Manual Renewals, Auto Renewals, and Renewals Canceled tabs, you can also change the billing mode of the ECSs to pay-per-use (taking effect after the subscription expires).

  4. Change the ECS billing mode to pay-per-use after the yearly/monthly subscription expires.
