How Do I Change the WAF Instance Edition to a Lower One and Reduce Number of Packages?
For cloud mode, WAF provides standard, professional, and platinum editions. You can decrease the number of domain name, QPS, and rule expansion packages you have purchased. To change the current WAF edition to a lower one or reduce WAF edition specifications, click Change in the upper right corner of the page. On the Change WAF Specifications page displayed, change specifications.
- To change WAF edition: In the Edition row, click Change Edition in the Details column. In the displayed Change Edition pane, select an edition and click OK.
- To change expansion packages: In the Details column of the Domain Name Quota, QPS Quota, and Rule Quota rows, increase or decrease the number of expansion packages, respectively.
By default, the number of extension packages cannot be reduced to 0. To do so, click Unsubscribe.
- Billing information: Changing specifications does not change the billing mode or expiration date.
