Terminate Astra DB Serverless databases

Terminating a database permanently deletes all of its data, including automatic backups. You cannot undo this action. |
Database termination isn’t instantaneous. After you initiate the termination process, the database enters Terminating status while deletion occurs. You receive a notification once termination is complete.
