As the Rancher Prime deployments are independent, each deployment is billed separately from the others. It is not possible to benefit from tiered pricing. If managing multiple independent Rancher Prime clusters, consider custom terms from SUSE.

#### How do I get support?
|
||||
|
||||
It is very simple to [open a support case](https://scc.suse.com/cloudsupport) with SUSE for Rancher Prime. Create a ‘supportconfig’ via the Rancher UI (click Get Support under the hamburger menu and follow instructions), then upload the ‘supportconfig’ output to the SUSE Customer Center. If the billing mechanism is active, a support case will be opened. See Supportconfig bundle in the Rancher [documentation](../integrations-in-rancher/cloud-marketplace/supportconfig.md) for more details.

#### My primary cluster has been offline. What will happen with billing when reconnected?
|

|

If the Racher Prime cluster is offline or disconnected from the Azure billing framework for a period of time, when it reconnects, the stored usage data will be uploaded to Azure and will appear on your next Azure bill. Depending on the month when the primary cluster gets reconnected you may have several months of usage on your next billing cycle.
