Capacity Reservation
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.

Hello v-karpurapud,
I still had this one 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?
Thank you for your time!
