Billing
For subscription IPs the remaining prepaid balance is refunded pro-rata (hourly precision) to your account balance. For PAYG IPs the IP simply stops accruing further hourly usage — no refund is needed.
The IP must not be attached to a VM. Detach it first via DELETE /api/v1/vms/{id}/ip/{nic_id}.
