Destroying one of my two droplets - billing question

Posted on January 3, 2021

I have two droplets and am no longer using one of them. I have turned it off, and plan to destroy it. I assume this will stop the billing process for that one droplet, correct? Obviously I still want to keep the other active.

Thanks for your time.

Hi @davewrobison,

Yes, destroying the droplet will stop the billing process for it. This won’t affect your other droplet so you’ll be able to keep using it without any problems!
