This document describes the billing cycle for the TencentDB for MySQL database proxy service.
Description
The billing cycle for the database proxy service starts when the instance's database proxy is enabled and ends when the database proxy is disabled. If the database proxy is not disabled after being enabled, the billing cycle lasts from the database proxy enabling to the instance's termination/elimination.
When Does the Database Proxy Start Being Billed?
Billing starts immediately when your TencentDB for MySQL instance is enabled with the database proxy, if it does not meet the new customer discount policy. The new customer discount policy stipulates that users who have not enabled the database proxy before the commercial billing time (16:00:00 on April 1, 2024 Beijing Time (UTC+8)) can enjoy a 15-day free trial of the database proxy feature for up to 3 instances under one Tencent Cloud UIN account. Each instance is entitled to a discount of up to 32 cores and 64,000 MB for its database proxy nodes. After the free trial ends, if you do not need to use the database proxy, you can disable it. If you need to continue using the database proxy, the instance's database proxy will be billed normally by usage. For details, see New Customer Discount Policy. When Does the Database Proxy Stop Being Billed?
The database proxy stops being billed under the following circumstances:
The database proxy has been disabled for the instance. In this case, billing for the database proxy will stop immediately.
When an instance with an enabled database proxy is terminated/eliminated and enters the isolated state, billing for the database proxy will stop immediately.
The lifecycle of a monthly subscription instance allows access for up to 7 days after expiration. After 7 days, the instance will enter the isolated state, and after another 7 days, it is eliminated. If the billing mode is monthly subscription and the instance with an enabled database proxy expires, the database proxy will continue to be billed during the 7 days in which the instance can still be accessed. Once the instance enters the isolated state after the 7 days, billing for the database proxy will stop.
