Hi @trithuc,

DigitalOcean billing cycles are monthly. Your account balance accrues over the course of the calendar month based on the cost of the resources you use. With that said, you can’t change the subscription to an annual plan as costs are accumulated on a monthly basis.

More on that here:

Unfortunately, you cannot change to annual plan.

However, you can add credits equivalent to that of an year on your account and avail our PayPal mode of payment method, if that helps!

Cheers, Sri Charan
