Convert to Monthly Subscription from Hourly Postpaid
Last updated:2026-01-05 09:52:40
Scenarios
To facilitate your use of RabbitMQ, Tencent Cloud has enabled the feature to convert to monthly subscription from hourly postpaid clusters. This supports converting temporarily used postpaid clusters into long-term, stable monthly subscription clusters to reduce costs.
Bills
When the billing mode is changed from postpaid by hour to yearly/monthly subscription, a new order will be generated. The monthly subscription mode will take effect immediately after the order payment is completed.
Assume that a user purchased a postpaid by hour cluster at 14:30:15 on June 28, 2025. Then, the user switched the billing mode from postpaid by hour to monthly subscription and paid for one month of cluster fees at 15:50:15 on June 28, 2025. After the user completes the order payment, the monthly subscription cluster will take effect immediately. On the Billing Center > Bill Details page, three bill records will be generated.
Postpaid by hour: During the period from 14:00:00 to 15:00:00 on June 28, 2025, fees incurred from 14:30:15 to 15:00:00.
Postpaid by hour: During the period from 15:00:00 to 16:00:00 on June 28, 2025, fees incurred from 15:00:00 to 15:50:15.
Yearly/monthly subscription: Fees incurred from 15:50:15 on June 28, 2025 to 15:50:15 on July 28, 2025.
Switching Limits
Currently, only the Managed Edition clusters support switching billing modes.
After the billing mode is switched, the cluster will be billed based on the new billing mode immediately. The start time of the new billing period for the cluster is the time when the switch takes effect.
After the cluster billing mode switches, the billing mode of the public network bandwidth changes automatically.
Prerequisites
Only clusters in the running status support switching the billing mode. Clusters that are being delivered, undergoing configuration changes, in isolation, or in an abnormal status do not allow modification of the billing mode.
