I just wonder how Digital Ocean calculate the amount if I change
- $5 plan to $40 plan?
- $40 plan to $5 plan?
- $5 plan to $40 plan? to $10plan?
Thanks,

If, for example, you start with a 512MB Droplet ($5) and use it for 5 hours, then upgrade it to a 4GB Droplet ($40), you’ll be billed for 5 hours on the 512MB and then for however long you use the 4GB.
If you downgrade back to a 512MB ($5) Droplet from a 4GB ($40) Droplet, you’ll be billed for the 5 hours on the 512MB Droplet, X hours on the 4GB Droplet, and from then on, until the next change, you’ll be billed per hour for the 512MB Droplet.
Where X is the amount of hours on the 4GB ($40) Droplet.
All Droplets are billed hourly with one-hour being the minimum amount billed. So if you use the Droplet for one-minute or 59 minutes, you’re billed for the full hour.
