Stopping Billing

Packaged Resources

For resources in the packages, such as monthly vCPU packages and monthly memory packages, you need to pay for them all at the same time when purchasing them. The billing mode is changed to pay-per-use after the packages expire or are used up.

Pay-per-Use Resources

If a pay-per-use pod is no longer needed, you can delete it to stop billing.

Searching for Pods from Bills and Stopping Billing

To ensure that all related resources are deleted, you can search for the bills by resource name, and then delete the resources you identify in this way.

Use the pod name to search for a bill.

1. Choose Billing > Expenditure Details.
2. Choose Bill Details. Locate the row that contains the pod and copy its name.
3. Log in to the console. Under Containers, click Cloud Container Instance 2.0.

   The Overview page is displayed.

4. Select the region where the pod is running. In the navigation pane, choose Workloads. Then click the Pods tab.
5. Enter the pod name copied in 2 in the search box to find the pod.

   If no data is found, switch the namespace in the upper part of the page and traverse all namespaces.

6. Click Delete in the Operation column to delete the pod. Ensure that the pod is not displayed in the list.
   

   You are billed one hour after the resource usage is calculated, so a bill may still be generated after the pay-per-use resource is deleted. For example, if you delete the pod (which is billed on an hourly basis) at 08:30, the expenditures for the hour from 08:00 to 09:00 are usually not billed until about 10:00.
