Billing Scenarios
Assume that a user purchased a Pro Edition instance with the postpaid by hour billing mode in the Guangzhou region at 13:20:00 on May 15, 2024. After using the instance for a period, the user upgraded its specifications at 10:00:00 on May 20, 2024, as the original specifications could not meet business requirements. The specifications before and after the upgrade are as follows:
Specifications | Before Upgrade | After Upgrade |
Peak bandwidth | 240 MB/s | 320 MB/s |
Disk (Cloud SSD) | 1000 GB | 3000 GB |
Partition | 1700 | 1800 |
Since the user intended to use the instance for a long period of time, they changed the billing mode of the instance to yearly/monthly subscription at 10:30:00 on May 25, 2024, with a subscription period of 3 months.
