PATCH /api/instance/billing/:instance Sets the billing mode of an instance. Use it to skip the trial and bill right away. The switch is one-way: once billable, an instance does not go back to trial. Authenticate with your account TokenAccount, the same one you use to create and manage instances.

Billing modes

Switching to billable is final. A billable instance cannot go back to trial, the API returns 400.

What happens on each change

The instance starts being billed from now on. If it is already connected, the committed amount for the cycle starts counting at this moment and runs until renewal, even if you delete the instance before that.
Only valid while the instance has not become billable yet. An instance that is already billable does not go back to trial, the API returns 400. The trial itself follows your contract rules and the number’s history.
