Table 1 EIP billing mode change description

Change

Description

From billing by traffic (pay-per-use) to billing by bandwidth (pay-per-use)

A pay-per-use EIP billed by traffic can be directly changed to be billed by bandwidth.

After the change is successful, the new billing mode takes effect immediately.

CAUTION:

The pay-per-use (billed by bandwidth) billing mode is based on the fixed bandwidth you purchased. If the actual bandwidth used exceeds the purchased one, no extra charges will apply, but the network quality may be affected. You are advised to plan the bandwidth based on actual service requirements.
