Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • TiDB Cloud Essential now supports Regional High Availability in Tokyo (ap-northeast-1), with additional regions rolling out gradually.
    • When creating an Essential instance in a supported region, choose Zonal availability in one Availability Zone or Regional availability across multiple Availability Zones. Regional availability helps protect against Availability Zone failures and costs more.
  • Pricing
    • Regional availability pricing applies immediately to instances created on or after October 26, 2026. For earlier instances, the new pricing takes effect in January 2027.
  • Changes
    • TiDB Cloud Starter no longer supports Chat2Query in SQL Editor or Data Service, including the Chat2Query API. Other features remain available.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified that Starter availability is zonal, Premium availability is regional, and Essential availability options vary by region.

The release note is largely consistent, but it retains a grammar issue and may direct Starter users to a broken SQL Editor page.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Document the Regional High Availability trade-offs.

The existing architecture documentation states that Regional High Availability requires application-level redundancy across zones, increases latency, and might incur cross-zone data-transfer fees. The current sentence only mentions higher cost, so it omits important operational and billing effects. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Committable replacement
-        Regional high availability provides enhanced resilience against Availability Zone failures and costs more than Zonal high availability.
+        Regional high availability provides enhanced resilience against Availability Zone failures. It requires application-level redundancy across zones. It increases latency and might incur cross-zone data transfer fees. It also costs more than Zonal high availability.
