Charges for Aiven services may persist even when they’re powered off due to the presence of static IP addresses associated with your project.
-
On the Aiven platform, these static IP addresses come with an additional cost and remain linked to your project even if a service is inactive or deleted, resulting in ongoing charges. Essentially, if you’ve reserved static IP addresses for your services, they will incur fees regardless of whether the services are active or not.
-
To address this and potentially reduce expenses, you can utilize the Aiven CLI to manage your static IP addresses. This allows you to
create,delete,associate, ordissociateIP addresses as needed. If you no longer require the static IP addresses, you can dissociate them from your services and subsequently delete them to stop any ongoing charges. -
