TerminateEipAddress

1. API Description

This API is used to return an elastic IP.

Note

• Use this API to return an elastic IP that is no longer required. A pay-as-you-go elastic IP will stop billing after it is returns.

• You cannot return a subscription elastic IP using this API, which will be returned when subscription expires.

• When this API is called, the elastic IP will be moved to the recycle bin and be released in 24 hours if there are no other operations. You can also call ReleaseEipAddresses to release the elastic IP.

• Only operations on an elastic IP in status of AVAILABLE, ASSOCIATED, or CREATE_FAILED are supported.

• Operations on an elastic IP with CREATE_FAILED status will refund all payment amounts.

• Operations on an elastic IP with ASSOCIATED status will unassign the elastic IP from the instance.
