Billing and orders

How cycles, promocodes, and credit-card charging work in both providers

Every create and upgrade call in these providers places a real paid order on your Biznet GIO account. There is no dry-run mode.

cycle values

Value	Meaning	Where
m	monthly	all services
a	annually	all services
q	quarterly	NEO Lite / Lite Pro, Object Storage
s	semi-annual	NEO Lite / Lite Pro, Object Storage
b	biennial	NEO Lite / Lite Pro, Object Storage
t	triennial	NEO Lite / Lite Pro, Object Storage
p4 / p5	4-year / 5-year prepay	NEO Lite / Lite Pro, Object Storage

NEO Metal and NEO GPU accept only m and a. GPU instances can bill hourly instead, via the on-demand mode (on_demand block / onDemand input) instead of a cycle.

pay_with_credit_card

Both providers default pay_with_credit_card / payWithCreditCard to true: the invoice for the order is charged to your credit card immediately.

Set it to false to place the order without paying:

• The resource is created but stays Pending until the invoice is paid in the portal.
• The providers poll for Active and will wait (up to the create timeout) for payment.
• Resources that stay Pending past the timeout surface a create error with partial state; once you pay in the portal, the next apply/up resumes.

Promocodes

Pass promocode (Terraform) / promocode (Pulumi) at creation to apply a portal promo. Promocodes are create-only - changing one replaces the resource.

Grow-only sizing

Storage-sized attributes can only increase; shrinking fails validation:

Resource	Attribute	Unit	Upgrade API call
NEO Lite / Pro VM	disk_size / diskSize	GB (absolute target)	change-storage
NEO Lite / Pro disk	size	GB	sends the increment
NEO Elastic Storage	size	GB	upgrade (increment)
Object Storage	quota	GB	sends the increment

To shrink, you must recreate the resource (which deletes the server/disk/instance and its data).

raw outputs and invoices

Every resource exports a raw secret output - the last API response JSON, with credentials redacted. Invoice details also surface on VM resources: last_invoice (Terraform) / lastInvoice (Pulumi) carries id, status, date, duedate, paybefore, datepaid, and invoice_type.
