# Deactivate Functions

Deactivate Functions when your account no longer needs it. Later months then carry no CPU
monthly minimum, and the account's outbound IP is released.

## Before you begin

Delete every function. Deactivating works only when no functions remain. With functions still
present, deactivating stops at "You cannot deactivate the FaaS plan while functions are active.
Please delete all functions before proceeding with deactivation." See [Delete a
function](/myaccount/functions/how-to/delete-a-function/).

## Deactivate Functions

Deactivating releases the account's outbound IP. If you activate again, you can get a different
IP.

1. In **Compute > Functions**, click **Deactivate FaaS plan**.
2. In **Confirm Deactivate Plan**, click **Deactivate**.

You see "FaaS plan deactivated successfully."

## Billing after you deactivate

Later months carry no Functions charge. The CPU monthly minimum applies only for months in which
Functions is active. The month in which you deactivate keeps its Functions charge. If you
activated this month on a prepaid account, the minimum charged then from your prepaid balance is
not refunded. See
[Billing](/myaccount/functions/concepts/billing/).

## Activate again later

To use Functions again, activate it again. For a prepaid account, each activation charges the
minimum again from its prepaid balance, even in the same month.

A new activation reserves whichever outbound IP is free at that moment. Update any allow-list
that holds the old address. See
[Activate Functions](/myaccount/functions/how-to/activate-functions/).

## What you have now

Functions is off for your account. To use Functions again, see
[Activate Functions](/myaccount/functions/how-to/activate-functions/).
