Stopping Billing

Pay-per-Use Pods

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 the billing records by resource ID, and then delete the resources you identify in this way.

Use the pod name to search for a bill.

1. Choose Billing > Transactions and Detailed Bills.
2. Locate the row that contains the resource and copy the resource name.
3. Log in to the console. Under Containers, click Cloud Container Instance.

   The Dashboard page is displayed.

4. Select the region where the pod is located. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Workloads > Pods.

   The pod list is displayed.

5. Enter the resource name copied in 2 in the search box and click to find the resource.

   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 does not exist 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.
