Will Am I Continue to Be Billed After ECSs Are Stopped?

For pay-per-use ECSs:
  • After a common instance (an ECS without local disks or FPGAs attached) is stopped, basic resources (vCPUs, memory, and image) are not billed, but system disks are still billed based on the capacity you use. The associated resources such as EVS disks, EIPs, and bandwidth, are separately billed.
  • Special instances (ECSs with local disks attached, FPGA-based ECSs, or bare metal ECSs) will continue to be billed after being stopped. To stop the ECS from being billed, delete it and its associated resources.

For a stopped pay-per-use ECS, the startup may fail due to insufficient resources. Please wait for several minutes before attempting another restart or changing the ECS specifications.
