Manage IPv4 usage
What you are charged for
You can assign a dedicated IPv4 address to a database by enabling the IPv4 add-on. You are charged for all IPv4 addresses configured across your databases.
If the primary database has a dedicated IPv4 address configured, its Read Replicas are also assigned one, with charges for each.
How charges are calculated
IPv4 addresses are charged by the hour, meaning you are charged for the exact number of hours that an IPv4 address is assigned to a database. If an address is assigned for part of an hour, you are still charged for the full hour.
Example
Your billing cycle runs from January 1 to January 31. On January 10 at 4:30 PM, you enable the IPv4 add-on for your project. At the end of the billing cycle you are billed for 512 hours.
