After you cancel the gateway appliance, the servers are reclaimed at the next billing cycle. For example, if you cancel the servers on September 8, the service is available until it is reclaimed on October 1.
You can verify if your gateway appliance is in the process of being canceled by viewing the Gateway Appliance Details page. Gateways in the process of being canceled show as Cancel pending.
If necessary, you can expedite the process by opening a case with IBM Support and requesting that the gateway appliance be reclaimed immediately. This process can take 24 to 48 hours. {: tip}
