From Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly

You can change the billing mode of a resource from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly. Doing so will create an order. After you pay for the order, the yearly/monthly subscription takes effect immediately.

To change the billing mode of a cloud service from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly, go to the cloud service console.

Important Notes

  • Only resources in the Provisioned state can have their billing modes changed. If your resources are frozen due to outstanding payments, settle the arrears first. After they return to the Provisioned state, you can change their billing mode from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly.
  • The billing mode of resources no longer available cannot be changed from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly.
  • The billing mode of solution portfolio products cannot be changed from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly.
  • The billing mode of spot instances cannot be changed from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly.
  • For cloud services changed from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly, if you enable auto-renewal, monthly subscriptions are renewed for 1 month and yearly subscriptions are renewed for 1 year.
