Specification upgrade |
After instance specifications are upgraded, the new instance specifications take effect in the original usage period. You need to pay for the difference in price based on the remaining period. The following prices are for reference only. The actual prices are displayed on the console. Suppose you purchased a one-month single standard HTAP instance with one BE and three FE nodes (specifications: 4 vCPUs | 16 GB; storage: extreme SSD, 50 GB) in CN-Hong Kong on April 1, 2025. The instance price was $624.80 USD per month. On April 15, 2025, you changed the BE node specifications to 8 vCPUs | 32 GB. The instance price was $914.80 USD per month. Price difference = Price for the new instance specifications x Remaining period – Price for the original instance specifications x Remaining period The remaining period is the remaining days of each calendar month divided by the maximum number of days in each calendar month. In this example, the remaining period and price difference are calculated as follows: Remaining period = 15 (Remaining days in April)/30 (Maximum number of days in April) = 0.5. Price difference = $914.80 USD x 0.5 – $624.80 USD x 0.5 = $145 USD |
