Background Information
TencentDB for Redis® supports switching the billing mode from pay-as-you-go to yearly/monthly subscription. You can perform billing mode switching in the TencentDB for Redis console. Please renew your order promptly to ensure switching success.
Switching Rules
Instructions for pay-as-you-go billing
When a TencentDB for Redis® instance is purchased, the system will freeze one hour's fee in your Tencent Cloud account. Settlement occurs hourly (Beijing Time) with billing time granularity accurate to the second. Fees incurred before switching from pay-as-you-go to yearly/monthly subscription will be automatically deducted from your Tencent Cloud account, where any duration less than 1 hour is calculated by second.
Instructions for yearly/monthly subscription
Switching a pay-as-you-go instance to a yearly/monthly subscription instance will create a renewal order. You must pay for the order for the billing mode switch to take effect. If the payment is not made or fails, a pending order appears on the Order Management page.
After the billing mode is changed, the instance will be immediately billed in yearly/monthly subscription mode. For specific information regarding the billing unit price and calculation formula, see Pricing.
Instructions for auto-renewal
When switching from pay-as-you-go to yearly/monthly subscription, you can enable auto-renewal. Upon expiration, fees will be automatically deducted from your Tencent Cloud account on a full-month basis. You may also cancel the auto-renewal feature at any time based on business scenarios. For specific operations, see Renewal.
When the billing mode is switched from pay-as-you-go to yearly/monthly subscription and auto-renewal is not enabled, you can set auto-renewal on a monthly basis after the switch. Otherwise, pay attention to the instance expiration time and renew it on time to avoid any impact on your services.
