Guidelines

DCDN supports switching between billing methods. The procedure depends on your current and target methods, as described below.

变更计费

Note

If you purchase an outbound data transfer plan for DCDN, you must select the pay-by-data-transfer billing method. Otherwise, you cannot use the plan to offset fees.
Once you submit a request to change the billing method, you cannot cancel it or submit another request until the change takes effect.
You are charged based on the original billing method until the new one takes effect.
The procedure for changing the billing method for WebSocket and IP Application Accelerator (IPA) is the same as for DCDN.
