Changing the Billing Mode from Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly

  • Pay-per-use is a postpaid billing mode. In this mode, your SA is billed by usage duration, and you can enable or disable the SA service at any time.
  • Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid billing mode. In this mode, your SA is billed based on required duration. This mode is more cost-effective than the pay-per-use mode and applicable when your resource usage period can be estimated.

If you plan to use SA for a long time, you can change the billing mode to yearly/monthly to save money.
