Conversion from Pay-As-You-Go to Monthly Subscription

Last updated: 2024-03-08 17:11:25
Operation scenarios
To make it more convenient for you to use CVM, Tencent Cloud has launched a feature that allows you to convert pay-as-you-go instances to monthly subscription instances. This enables you to convert temporary pay-as-you-go instances into long-term and stable monthly subscription instances. You can execute this conversion operation through the CVM console and Application Programming Interface. This document will guide you on how to convert pay-as-you-go instances to monthly subscription instances by using the CVM console.
Conversion Rules
We provide a billing mode conversion feature on the CVM console, and the specific rules are as follows:
Supports converting single or multiple pay-as-you-go instances into monthly subscription instances.
When a pay-as-you-go instance is converted to a monthly subscription, a renewal order is generated. The payment process for this order must be completed before the change in billing method can take effect.
If the payment is not made or failed, this order can be viewed and handled on your Order Center page.
CVMs that convert the billing mode from pay-as-you-go to monthly subscription do not support the seven-day unconditional refund policy.
After the billing method conversion is successful and the payment is made, the instance will be billed as a monthly subscription immediately. The start time of the new monthly subscription instance is the successful conversion time.
Before successful payment, you cannot repeat the conversion of the billing mode for this instance.
Before successful payment, if the configuration information of a instance changes (such as adjusting configuration, reinstalling the system, adjusting bandwidth, adjusting disk, etc.), the amount of the new purchase order doesn't match with the instance, and the unpaid order will be prohibited from being paid. You need to cancel the current unpaid order in Order Center first, then carry out the new conversion operation.
The feature of converting pay-as-you-go to monthly package supports the synchronous conversion of the billing mode of the instance and disk. After the billing mode of the instance is converted, except for the network bandwidth billing mode of the hourly bandwidth of the common public IP for standard account types and the network bandwidth billing mode of hourly bandwidth for traditional account types, which support automatic conversion to monthly package billing by bandwidth, the remaining network bandwidth billing modes remain unchanged.
Use Limits
The conversion is not supported when the remaining quota of the monthly package in the availability zone is less than the number of the instances to be converted from pay-as-you-go.
Instances not billed by the pay-as-you-go billing are not supported for conversion.
Spot instances are not supported for conversion.
Instance network billing mode is billed by bandwidth usage duration. Temporary conversion not supported.
Instances using cloud market images do not support conversion.
Batch instances BC1, BS1 do not support conversion.
Pay-as-you-go instances with unfinished conversion orders are not supported for conversion.
Pay-as-you-go instances that have been set to destruct at a specific time do not support conversion. If you need to convert, please cancel the timed destruction and convert again.
