Yearly/Monthly to Pay-per-Use

After creating a yearly/monthly RabbitMQ instance, you can change the billing mode to pay-per-use to reclaim some costs and use the instance more flexibly.

The pay-per-use billing mode will take effect only after the yearly/monthly subscription has expired.

Prerequisites

The RabbitMQ instance is in the Running state.
