General Lifecycle Rules
Service Lifecycle
Generally speaking, your resources will go through different stages. See Subscription Stages and Pay-as-you-go Stages for more details.
Caution
The duration of each stage is subject to different resources. Please refer to specific product pricing documentation for details.
Upgrades and Downgrades
The upgrade takes effect immediately.
The downgrade takes effect in the next billing cycle.
The price difference to be paid (for upgrades) or refunded (for downgrades) = |Price of new configuration - Price of old configuration| × Number of upgrade/downgrade months.
Upgrade/Downgrade months = (expiration date-current date)/30.
Subscription Term Change
From Long-term to Short-term Subscription
The change takes effect when the current subscription expires.
The change can be cancelled before the current subscription expires.
From Short-term to Long-term Subscription
The change takes effect immediately, and the new billing cycle starts from the change time.
The amount for the unused days of the original subscription will be deducted from the cost of the new subscription term.
In the original subscription: The amount for the unused days = Total actual amount (vouchers not included) - Consumed amount
Example
Background information
Every 1 month refers to a calendar month.
Long-term subscription may enjoy a certain discount.
In this example, you change from Original 1-month Subscription (Nov. 25 to Dec. 25) to New 3-month Subscription on Dec. 10.
Assume you have paid for the original subscription $300. On Dec. 10, you change to 3-month subscription and enjoy a 10% discount. You new 3-month subscription lasts from Dec. 10 to Mar. 10 and you have 15 unused days (Dec. 10 to Dec. 25) of your original 1-month subscription.
The amount for the unused days of the original subscription = (15/30) × $300 = $150.
So your need to pay:
Amount for new 3-month subscription - Amount for unused days of original subscription
= $300 × 3 × (1-10%) - $150
= $660
