Changing a pricing plan

    • Intended delivery date
    • Link to Partner Center entry
    • Metric ID
    • Current price per metric and the updated price per metric
  7. Click Next.

    To maintain security, do not include any personal information, sensitive data, or device or service credentials. For example, don't include passwords, API keys, secrets, or credit card information.

  8. Review your case summary, and click Submit case.

You will receive an email notification that your case was successfully submitted.

According to the IBM Cloud Services Agreement, you are required to provide your customers a 30-day notice of any price changes.

Client notifications are sent out on the first of the following month. After your notification has been sent, your updated pricing will go into effect on the first of the following month.

You can track the progress of your submitted case from the Manage cases page.

For the best support experience on IBM Cloud, it is recommended to have an advanced or premium support plan.
