Unsubscribing from FlexusL Instances

Scenarios

A FlexusL instance is actually a package of resources. Resources in the package are unsubscribed together. If you unsubscribe from a FlexusL instance, all resources including the EVS disks, cloud backup vault, HSS, and EIP associated with the instance will be released and data cannot be recovered.

Unsubscription includes unsubscribing from resources and unsubscribing from renewal periods. After the unsubscription is successful, you will get a refund.

• Unsubscribing from resources: You can unsubscribe from FlexusL instances (including the renewal period) that are no longer needed. For details, see Unsubscribing from Resources.
• Unsubscribing from a renewal period: If you have renewed a FlexusL instance, you can unsubscribe from the renewal period. When you unsubscribe from a renewal period, you can only unsubscribe from the renewal period that has not yet taken effect. To unsubscribe from the renewal period that has taken effect, you can only unsubscribe from the FlexusL instance. For details, see Unsubscribing from a Renewal Period.

Notes

• Before unsubscription, ensure that data on the cloud resources to be unsubscribed from has been backed up or migrated. After unsubscription, resources will be deleted and data cannot be recovered. Exercise caution during unsubscription.
• If an order is paid using the Huawei Cloud account balance or a third-party online payment platform (such as Alipay, WeChat, or e-banking), the refund will be returned to your Huawei Cloud account balance.

Constraints

• Newly purchased FlexusL instances cannot be unsubscribed from immediately. Try later.
• FlexusL instances that are in the grace period or retention period due to arrears cannot be unsubscribed from. To unsubscribe from such instances, pay off the arrears first. If you still do not pay off the arrears after the retention period has ended, all of your resources will be released.
• FlexusL instances that are frozen due to illegal issues cannot be unsubscribed from.

For more details, see Unsubscription Not Allowed.
