If the Data Transmission Service (DTS) tasks configured on a pay-as-you-go DTS instance are complete and you do not want to retain the configurations of the instance, you can manually release the instance to avoid extra costs.
Usage notes
The billing method of your DTS instance must be pay-as-you-go.
NoteYou cannot manually release a subscription instance. If you do not renew a subscription instance after it expires, the instance will be automatically released seven days later.
After a DTS instance is released, all the data of the instance is deleted and cannot be retrieved. Proceed with caution.

What to do next
After a DTS task is complete or a DTS instance is released, we recommend that you manually remove the CIDR blocks of DTS servers from the security settings of the source and destination database instances. This way, DTS can no longer access the source and destination databases. For more information, see the CIDR blocks of DTS servers section of the Add the CIDR blocks of DTS servers topic.
