# UnAssociateEipAddress

## 1. API Description

This API (UnAssociateEipAddress) is used to unbind an elastic IP from an instance.

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Note**</mark>

* <mark style="color:blue;">Operations on elastic IPs in</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`ASSOCIATED`</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">and</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`AVAILABLE`</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">status are supported. For elastic IPs with</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`AVAILABLE`</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">status, no change occurs.</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">Operations on elastic IPs in</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`ASSOCIATED`</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">status will change the status to</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`UNACCOSCIATING`</mark><mark style="color:blue;">.</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">This API is an async API. A request ID is returned after the request is sent. However, it does not mean the unbinding has been completed. You can use</mark> [<mark style="color:purple;">`DescribeEipAddresses`</mark>](/api-reference/compute/bmc/elastic-ip/describeeipaddresses.md) <mark style="color:blue;">to query the status of the elastic IP.</mark>
  * <mark style="color:blue;">If the status of the elastic IP is</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`UNASSOCIATING`</mark><mark style="color:blue;">, it means that the elastic IP is being unbound. Only query operations are allowed during</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`UNASSOCIATING`</mark><mark style="color:blue;">.</mark>
  * <mark style="color:blue;">If the status of the elastic IP is</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`AVAILABLE`</mark><mark style="color:blue;">, it means that the elastic IP has been unbound.</mark>
