 title: 'Public Cloud Compute - Von der stündlichen auf monatliche Abrechnung umstellen'

 ## Ziel
 
-Wenn Sie eine Public Cloud Instanz erstellen, können Sie wählen, ob die Abrechnung stündlich oder monatlich erfolgen soll. Instanzen mit Stundensatz werden nach dem Verfahren *Pay as you go* abgerechnet, d.h. am Monatsende werden den Nutzern die spezifischen Ressourcen in Rechnung gestellt, die sie verwendet haben.
+Wenn Sie eine Public Cloud Instanz erstellen, können Sie wählen, ob die Abrechnung stündlich oder monatlich erfolgen soll (Ausgenommen sind Public Cloud-Instanzen der dritten Generation, die standardmäßig stundenweise abgerechnet werden und bei deren Erstellung keine monatliche Option angeboten wird). Instanzen mit Stundensatz werden nach dem Verfahren *Pay as you go* abgerechnet, d.h. am Monatsende werden den Nutzern die spezifischen Ressourcen in Rechnung gestellt, die sie verwendet haben.
 
 Instanzen mit monatlicher Fälligkeit können im Voraus bezahlt werden und werden zu einem niedrigeren Preis berechnet (bis zu 50% weniger als bei der verbrauchsspezifischen Abrechnung). Wenn Sie ursprünglich die stündliche Abrechnung ausgewählt haben, können Sie jederzeit zur monatlichen Abrechnung wechseln.
