# Databases & Analytics - Upgrade your service plan

**Learn how to upgrade the service plan of your Cloud Databases or Analytics service according to your needs.**

**Warning:**

**NOTE:** Once you have upgraded your solution, you will not be able to downgrade to a lower solution.

 

## Requirements

- Access to your [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/) or the [OVHcloud API](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/)
- A [Public Cloud project](https://us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/) in your OVHcloud account

 

## Instructions

To adjust the flavor of your cluster, log in to the [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/) and select the `Public Cloud` menu. Under **Databases & Analytics**, click `Databases` (or `Data Streaming` or `Data Analytics`, depending on your engine) and select your engine.

In the `Configuration` tab, look at the **Service** panel and click `Edit` in the **Plan** row.

Select your new plan. Depending on your existing configuration, you may be required to upgrade your node model.

Click `Edit` to submit your changes.

Currently, the OVHcloud Control Panel does not allow downgrading the service plan for some engines, but you can do it using the API.

 

#### Using the OVHcloud API

**Note:**

If you are not familiar with using the OVHcloud API, please refer to our [First Steps with the OVHcloud API](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/manage-and-operate/api/first-steps.md) guide.

To upgrade or downgrade the service plan of your cluster, use the API call like the one below, but for your engine:

[PUT /cloud/project/{serviceName}/database/postgresql/{clusterId}](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/console/?section=/cloud&branch=v1#put-/cloud/project/-serviceName-/database/postgresql/-clusterId-)

**Request Body:**

```
{
"plan": "<essential|business|production|enterprise>"
}
```

If you downgrade to an Essential plan, your current flavor and/or number of nodes will be downgraded automatically if they exceed the limits of the Essential plan.
