Unsubscribing a Yearly/Monthly GaussDB Instance

Scenarios

To delete a DB instance billed on a yearly/monthly basis, you need to unsubscribe the order. Currently, DB instances cannot be unsubscribed in batches. You can unsubscribe only one instance at a time. For details, see Unsubscribing a Single Instance. For unsubscription fees, see Unsubscription Rules.

For pay-per-use DB instances, you need to delete them on the Instances page. For details, see Deleting a Pay-per-Use GaussDB Instance.
