Scenarios

You can delete a TDMQ for MQTT cluster if you no longer need it to avoid resource waste.

Operation Steps

Manual Deletion

1. Log in to the TDMQ for MQTT console.
2. Select Resource > Cluster in the left sidebar. On the cluster management list page, click More > Terminate/Return in the Action column.
3. In the pop-up box, confirm and click Terminate to delete the cluster.
Note:
If a cluster contains resources such as topics, termination is not supported. The cluster can only be terminated after all resources under it have been cleared.
Once a cluster is deleted, all configurations of this cluster will be permanently removed and cannot be restored. Proceed with caution and back up data in advance.


Automatic Deletion Upon Expiration or in Arrears

A yearly/monthly subscription cluster can be retained in the TDMQ for MQTT console for up to 7 calendar days after expiration or when payment is in arrears. If renewal is completed within 7 days, the cluster can continue to be used. For details, see Overdue Payments.
If your TDMQ for MQTT cluster is not renewed within 7 days (including the 7th day) after expiration, the system begins to release resources at 00:00 on the 8th day after expiration, and the data in the expired instance is cleared and cannot be restored.
Note:
Clusters in an isolated state cannot produce and consume. Data and configurations stored in the cluster will not be deleted.
For a cluster in an isolated state within 7 days, you can go to the cluster list page in the console and click Renew in the Action column. After successful renewal, the cluster is restored to the running status and can be used normally.
