Unsubscribing from a Yearly/Monthly Instance

Scenarios

To delete a DB instance billed on the yearly/monthly basis, you need to unsubscribe the order. You can unsubscribe a single instance order by referring to Unsubscribing a Single DB Instance (Method 1) and Unsubscribing a Single DB Instance (Method 2) or unsubscribe multiple instance orders at a time by referring to Unsubscribing DB Instances in Batches. For unsubscription fees, see Unsubscription Rules.

If you unsubscribe from a DB instance, its read replicas (if any) will also be unsubscribed.

To release DB instances or read replicas billed on a pay-per-use basis, you need to locate the target DB instances or read replicas and click Delete on the Instances page. For details, see Deleting Pay-per-Use DB Instances or Read Replicas.
