Managing payment methods
Optionally, update your payment method in the Billing & Payments section. Your Billing & Payments also displays each database included in your server, allowing you to see your total cost per database.
Update the payment method you entered when creating your DataStax Astra DB database. Before your monthly credit runs out, you must enter your credit card number and associated billing information to ensure your database remains accessible.
Enter updated credit card information and associated billing details, or delete the existing payment method.
Astra DB supports one payment method for each organization.
