Changing the Billing Mode from Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly

If you want to use a pay-per-use MRS cluster for a long time, you can change the billing mode of the MRS cluster to yearly/monthly to reduce costs. By doing so, a new order is generated and the yearly/monthly resource takes effect immediately after you pay the order.

Assume that you bought a pay-per-use MRS instance on June 18, 2023, 15:29:16, and you changed the instance's billing mode to yearly/monthly on June 18, 2023, 16:30:30 (a change-to-yearly/monthly order generated). After you paid the order, the gateway immediately entered the yearly/monthly billing mode.

On the management console, choose Billing & Costs > Bills and the following bills are generated on the Bills page in Bill Center:

  • Pay-per-use: June 18, 2023, 15:00:00 to June 18, 2023, 16:00:00. Fees are generated for the period from 15:29:16 to 16:00:00.
  • Pay-per-use: June 18, 2023, 16:00:00 to June 18, 2023, 17:00:00. Fees are generated for the period from 16:00:00 to 16:30:30.
  • Yearly/Monthly: June 18, 2023, 16:30:30

Prerequisites

  • The billing mode of the target MRS cluster is pay-per-use.
  • The target MRS cluster is in the Running state.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the MRS console.
  2. In the left navigation pane, choose Clusters > Active Clusters.
  3. In the Operation column corresponding to the cluster for which you want to change the billing mode, click Change to Yearly/Monthly.
  4. If you are sure you want to change the billing mode, click Yes.
  5. On the Change Subscription page that is displayed, choose how often you would like to renew and click Pay.

    After the order is submitted, the cluster status changes from Running to Changing to Yearly/Monthly.

    After the order is paid, the cluster billing mode starts changing to Yearly/Monthly. After the billing mode is changed, the cluster status turns into Running.

    After the billing mode is changed to yearly/monthly, task nodes in a cluster are still billed in pay-per-use mode. During the change, the configured AS rules do not trigger scaling actions. Change the billing mode at an appropriate time to avoid any adverse impact on your services.
