Why GaussDB(for MySQL)?
GaussDB(for MySQL) Billing
You only pay for what you use. There is no minimum charge.
GaussDB(for MySQL) provides two billing modes:
· Yearly/Monthly: provides a larger discount than pay-per-use billing and is recommended for long-term use.
· Pay-per-Use (hourly): allows you to pay for only the resources you actually use. Pricing is listed on a per-hour basis, but bills are calculated down to the second.
Renewing/Unsubscribing a GaussDB(for MySQL) Instance
Only yearly/monthly instances of GaussDB(for MySQL) can be renewed or unsubscribed.
To renew an instance, you can open the Instances page, locate the instance and click Renew in the Operation column.
To unsubscribe an instance, you need to unsubscribe the order first. After you unsubscribe the instance order, all resources including read replicas of the instance are also deleted.
Changing the Billing Mode from Yearly/Monthly to Pay-per-Use
You can change the billing mode of a GaussDB(for MySQL) instance from yearly/monthly to pay-per-use. The pay-per-use billing mode takes effect only after the yearly/monthly subscription expires, and the auto-renew function will be invalid.
Changing the Billing Mode from Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly
If you use GaussDB(for MySQL) for a long time, you can change the billing mode of one or multiple instances from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly for a lower tariff. After the change, you can check whether the operation has taken effect in the order status.
