### **Important Notes for Billing Plan Change**

* The subscription renews automatically unless it is deleted or released before the renewal time.

## **Release a Resource from Subscriptions**

If a subscribed resource is no longer needed, you can release it from the **Subscriptions** page.

**Important:** Releasing a resource permanently deletes the resource and any associated resources, if applicable. This action cannot be undone.

1. Go to **Billing > Subscriptions**.
2. Locate the resource you want to release.
3. In the **Actions** column, click the **ellipsis (⋯)** menu.

## **Notes**

* Only resources that support subscription management display actions such as **Change Billing Plan** or **Release Resource**.
* Billing plan options may vary depending on the **resource type**.
* Expired subscriptions remain visible in the subscription list for tracking and reference.
* Ensure that you verify the resource before releasing it, as the action is irreversible.

1. Navigate to **Billing > Subscriptions**.
2. Locate the inactive subscription you want to reuse.
3. In the **Actions** column, click the **ellipsis (⋯)** menu.
4. Click **Reuse Resource**.
