How can I disable the CLS service and stop being charged?
There is no one-click option for disabling CLS. If you decide to stop using CLS, you can avoid any further billing by permanently deleting all of your CLS resources such as log topics. There is no need to de-register your account, and if you use other Tencent Cloud products, avoid doing so as it will affect your other services.
CLS is pay-as-you-go. You can query the billing information about related resources the day after you delete them. As shown below, you can view the bill generated on September 15 on September 16:
Deleting all log topics
Note:
Demo log topics will not incur fees, so you can experience them at ease.
1. Log in to the CLS console. On the Overview page, view resource statistics about each region, locate the region where a log topic exists, and click Log Topics to enter the Log Topic management page.
2. On the Log Topic management page, click Delete next to Log Topic to delete all log topics in all regions.
You can select a region in the upper left corner to switch to another region where there are resources.
3. Return to the Overview page, and view the number of log topics. If the number of log topics is 0, it indicates that log topic resources have been cleared and no related fees will be incurred.
