Delete or discontinue PCU groups for Astra DB Serverless databases
When you no longer need a PCU group, your options for removing that group depend on the group’s workload type:
-
For flexible capacity workloads, you can delete PCU groups as needed.
-
For committed capacity workloads, you can discontinue subscriptions during the renewal period.
Committed capacity PCU groups aren’t eligible for deletion while the subscription is active.
Discontinue committed capacity PCU group subscriptions
Committed capacity (RCU-based) PCU groups are a long-term commitment to a specific capacity. The commitment period depends on your Astra subscription plan. Near the end of your subscription period, or if you aren’t sure when your subscription period ends, contact your account representative or IBM Support to request removal of the group. If you take no action, the PCU subscription renews automatically with the same reserved capacity (RCU) commitment along with your Astra subscription plan.
Delete flexible capacity PCU groups
You can delete flexible capacity PCU groups at any time, if you no longer need those resources:
-
In the Astra Portal header, click Settings.
-
In the Settings navigation menu, make sure the enterprise/organization filter is set to the organization that you want to manage.
If the organization belongs to an enterprise, you must filter on the enterprise, and then click the organization name in the Organizations list.
-
In the Settings navigation menu, click Provisioned capacity.
-
Find the PCU group that you want to delete.
-
Click More, and then select Edit group. If there are any databases assigned to the PCU group, you must move or delete those databases. To move the databases, see Edit PCU groups for Astra DB Serverless databases. To completely delete the databases, see Terminate Astra DB Serverless databases.
-
After removing all databases from the PCU group, click More, and then select Delete.
If this option isn’t available, make sure the group is a flexible capacity PCU group with a reserved capacity of zero.
