Charges for Resizing an Instance

When you initiate a resize operation, you will be charged as per the current plan until the resize happens. Once the resize operation is completed, you will be charged as per the newly subscribed plan.

Yearly Prepaid Plans

Let's assume you have created an instance at $6/year and after 6 months of usage decided to resize it to a higher plan of $12/year. In that case, the usage charge for the instance will be $3 ($6*6/12) till the 1st of July and for the remaining 6 months of your billing cycle, you will be billed $6 ($12*6/12).

Monthly Postpaid Plans

Let's assume you have subscribed to a $5/month plan ($0.0074/hour) and used the instance for 500 hours, then resized it to a $40/month plan ($0.0595/hour) and used it for 200 hours. In that case, the instance will be billed $3.7 for 500 hours and $11.9 for the next 200 hours.
