Downgrade Fees Calculation Example
Note:
The prices used in the examples below are only for demonstration purposes and do not correspond to the actual prices on the official website. The actual unit prices shall prevail, which may vary by region, campaign, or policy.
Background
The dual-server high-availability edition instance with the specs of 1 core, 4 GB memory, 10 GB storage space in Beijing Zone 5 will be billed at the rate of 0.26256 USD/Hour.
The instance has been used for 24 hours, and you want to downgrade it to the specs of 1 core, 2 GB memory, and 10 GB storage space.
Billing
Pay-as-you-go fee per hour = memory specification fee + storage fee.
The first 24 hours will be billed at the rate of original specification. Fee per hour = 4* 0.0651 USD/GB/Hour + 100.000216 USD/GB/Hour = 0.26256 USD/Hour.
For the instance downgraded to the specs of 1 core, 2 GB memory, and 10 GB storage after 24 hours, it will be billed according to the new specifications in the next billing cycle.
New specs fee per hour = 20.0651 USD/GB/Hour + 10*0.000216 USD/GB/Hour =0.13236 USD/Hour.
