# TerminatePort

## 1. API Description

This API (TerminatePort) is used to terminate Port

{% hint style="info" %}
**Notes**

* Ports that are no longer needed can be actively terminated via this API. For postpaid ports, billing stops once terminated.
* This API cannot actively terminate a port under the prepaid **subscription** billing mode -- subscription-mode ports are automatically terminated when the subscription expires.
* A terminated port enters the recycle bin. If no further action is taken, it is automatically released after 48 hours; you can also actively release it by calling [DestroyPort](/api-reference/networking/sdn/data-center-port/destroyport.md#DestroyPort).
* Calling this API on a port that is already in the recycle bin or still being created has no effect.
