Delete a Google Dedicated Interconnect

You have 24 hours to delete a Dedicated cloud port without incurring a financial penalty. This is regardless of the contract terms you selected.

Once that window has passed, and if you selected a 12, 24, or 36-month service term, then you must pay an early termination fee. This fee is equal to the amount remaining on your contract, but does not include any additional financial penalties for early termination.
