Last Updated:Feb 03, 2026

This topic describes the billing items for Data Management (DMS), including product types, billing methods, and pricing. It excludes the Billable items for Data Disaster Recovery.

Usage notes

  • DMS billing items cannot switch between pay-as-you-go and subscription-based billing.

    To switch from pay-as-you-go to a subscription, Refund policy and Purchase a DMS service.

FAQ

Q: Why am I being charged for a pay-as-you-go DMS service even if I didn't use it?

A: Purchased pay-as-you-go quotas are billed continuously, regardless of whether they are assigned to instances. You must manually unsubscribe or reallocate the quota to another instance when the original instance has been released. DMS does not automatically unsubscribe the quota. For more information, see Refund Instructions.
