Scenario

A user purchased a pay-per-use Kafka instance in AP-Singapore on Mar 18, 2023, 15:30:00:

Flavor: kafka.2u4g.cluster × 3
Total storage space: high I/O, 300 GB

After a period of time, the user finds the current Kafka instance no longer meets service requirements. The flavor is upgraded to kafka.4u8g.cluster × 3 on Mar 20, 2023, 9:00:00. Since the Kafka instance is intended for long-term use, the billing mode is switched to yearly/monthly on Mar 20, 2023, 10:30:00, and the billing period is for one month. How much is the total fee of the Kafka instance in March and April?
