Billing Termination

Yearly/Monthly Resources

When you purchase a yearly/monthly resource, such as a yearly/monthly GeminiDB Mongo instance, you make a one-time up-front payment. By default, the billing automatically stops when the purchased subscription expires.

• You can unsubscribe from a yearly/monthly resource before it expires. Depending on whether coupons or discounts were used, Huawei Cloud may issue you a refund. For details about unsubscription rules, see Unsubscriptions.
• If you have enabled auto-renewal but no longer wish to automatically renew the subscription, disable it before the auto-renewal date (7 days before the expiration date by default) to avoid unexpected expenditures.

Pay-per-Use Resources

If pay-per-use resources, such as pay-per-use GeminiDB Mongo instances, are no longer required, delete them in a timely manner.

Searching for Resources from Bills and Stopping Billing

To ensure that all related resources are deleted, you can search the billing records by resource ID, and then delete the resources you identify in this way.

[Method 1: Use the resource ID in the bill to search for the resource.]

1. Log in to the Huawei Cloud console. On the top menu bar, choose Billing > Bills.

   The Bills page is displayed.

2. In the navigation pane, choose Billing > Expenditure Details. Click the icon shown in the following figure to copy the resource ID.

3. Log in to the management console and click Databases > GeminiDB Mongo API.
4. Select the region where the resource is located, select Instance ID, enter the resource ID copied from 2, and click to search for the resource.

5. Locate the instance you want to delete and click More > Delete in the Operation column. Ensure that the resource is not found in the list.
   

   You are billed one hour after the resource usage is calculated, so a bill may still be generated after the pay-per-use resource is deleted. For example, if you delete an instance (which is billed on an hourly basis) at 08:30, the expenditures for that hour from 08:00 to 09:00 are usually not billed until about 10:00.

[Method 2: Use the resource name in the bill to search for the resource.]

1. Log in to the Huawei Cloud console. On the top menu bar, choose Billing > Bills.

   The Bills page is displayed.

2. In the navigation pane, choose Billing > Expenditure Details. Click the icon shown in the following figure to copy the resource name.
