If you no longer need to use the billable features that are provided by the new version of Data Management (DMS), such as Stable Change control mode, Security Collaboration control mode, and sensitive data protection, you can unsubscribe from these features. This topic describes how to unsubscribe from the billable features.
Usage notes
After you unsubscribe from the sensitive data protection feature that you purchased for a database instance, the existing data classification information, such as data masking rules that you configured, on the database instance is not deleted.
NoteThe existing data classification information on the database instance is deleted only if the sensitive data protection feature is disabled. For more information, see Disable the sensitive data protection feature.
If you unsubscribe from the Stable Change or Security Collaboration control mode, the database instances that are managed in the control mode are disabled in DMS, but the instances themselves run as expected. For more information about how to enable a database instance in DMS, see Disable or enable database instances.

FAQ
Q: When I purchased a DMS subscription resource, I used vouchers to deduct the fee. Can the vouchers that I used be refunded if I unsubscribe from the resource?
A: No, the vouchers used for the purchase cannot be refunded. Fees for the remaining quota that is not used are refunded.
Q: Why do I still receive bills after I have unsubscribed from a pay-as-you-go DMS resource?
A: A pay-as-you-go DMS resource is billed on a daily basis. For example, if you unsubscribe from the pay-as-you-go resource today, the bill for the resource usage today is generated. Bills are not generated from tomorrow.
