Can I stop an Azure Postgres Single Server Instance?

I have migrated an old Postgres 9.6 Single Server Instance over to Flex Server. I want to keep the old one around a for a little bit in case something goes wrong and I can quickly roll back by changing my connection strings. But I would rather not continue to pay for it while it sits unused.

I can stop a flex instance, but I can't seem to find a way to stop the Single instance. Is there a trick or am I stuck?

    Hi, @Brad Mathews Thank you for reaching out to us with your query about Azure Postgres. I'd be happy to help you with this.

    There is no stop option for Azure Postgres single server and this is by design. The best option is to take a backup and delete the server or another option is to scale the instance down to a lower pricing tier. This can help you save costs while keeping the instance around for a bit.

    Regards

    Geetha
