How Can I Stop an ECS from Being Billed?

This section uses a pay-per-use ECS as an example to describe how you are billed after the ECS is deleted. Table 1 lists the resources associated with the ECS.

**Table 1** Billing example of a pay-per-use ECS
Resources	Description	Billing Mode
ECS basic resources	vCPUs, memory, and image	Pay-per-use
EVS disks	System disk	Pay-per-use
EVS disks	Data disk	Pay-per-use
EIP	N/A	Pay-per-use

After the ECS is deleted, it is billed as follows:

ECS basic resources: no longer billed
EVS disks
- System disk: no longer billed
- Data disks: no longer billed if you have selected Delete the data disks attached to the following ECSs when you were deleting the ECS. Otherwise, the data disks will continue to be billed.
EIP: no longer billed if you have selected Release the EIPs bound to the following ECSs when you were deleting the ECS. Otherwise, the EIP will continue to be billed.
