Modifying the Recycle Bin Policy for a GaussDB Instance

Precautions

• The recycle bin is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. The deleted instances can be retained for 7 days by default.
• The new recycling policy only applies to instances that were put in the recycle bin after the new policy was put into effect. Those already in the recycle bin follow the original policy.

Billing

Instances in the recycle bin will not incur charges.
