Hi,
I have an existing production database in Hyperscale. The database was created 1 year back.
Is it possible to reverse migrate hyperscale database to the General purpose service tier?
I have seen a dialogue that you can move to General purpose tier up until 45 days after updating to hyperscale.

    Yes, it is possible to reverse migrate from Hyperscale to General Purpose as explained here.

    However, reverse migration is only available within 45 days of the original migration to Hyperscale. Databases originally created in the Hyperscale service tier are not eligible for reverse migration.
