    Hi marius1106 

    Regarding your question, the solution provided by lbendlin  addresses the issue. Once a reservation is made for the selected duration (one or three years), you will continue to pay the reserved price throughout the term, regardless of usage. However, if your usage exceeds the reserved capacity, any additional consumption will be charged at Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) rates.

    Additionally, while scaling up is possible by purchasing additional reserved capacity (which starts a new reservation contract), scaling down is not permitted mid-term. The original reservation commitment remains unchanged until its expiration.

    If this post helps , kindly mark as Accepted Solution and appreciate your Kudos.

    Thank You.

Hello, 

thanks for your replay. Another final Question:

What if I reserved an Instance for one year and after 3 months I realize that I have to scale up/down my capacity: Is it possible? And what about the remaining costs - are they just double the price or is it a new year of contract?

You made the reservation, for a year or three.

Within the limits of that reservation you can modify your capacities as you like. You will pay the reservation price, no matter what.

If you exceed the reservation you will have to PAYG for that part.

You cannot reduce a reservation mid term. You can add more reservation.
