Manage Google Cloud Platform subscription

To manage your Google Cloud Platform subscription, use the Managing tab of the subscription page in the Customer Control Panel (see Subscription details). Some operations are also available from the subscription card in the list of subscriptions of your account (see List of subscriptions).

Only the following operations can be available for managing a Google Cloud Platform subscription:

  • Stop an active subscription. For the general description of the procedure, see Stop subscription in the Customer Control Panel guide. When a Google Cloud Platform subscription is stopped:
    1. The billing subaccount gets the Need attention status.
    2. In Google Cloud Console, the following message is displayed for a user: Your reseller has suspended this billing account.
    3. Resource consumption is stopped.
  • Activate a stopped subscription. For the general description of the procedure, see Activate subscription in the Customer Control Panel guide. When a Google Cloud Platform subscription is activated:
    1. The billing subaccount gets the Active status.
    2. In Google Cloud Console, a user can manage resources.

Changing resources of a Google Cloud Platform subscription is not available since all information about its resources is stored on the service side.
