To answer Jake's original question, CBU can be deactivated at any time by command (either in z/OS, on HMC/SE, or by API, depending on your hardware model). That stops the licensing accrual for CBU (as well as limiting the MSU back to non-CBU value). Several ways to do it, the simplest is to vary offline the CPs that were activated by the CBU (which could be more than general purpose processors). z/OS is smart enough to then stop the CBU record (mark it inactive). Undoing any charges for the accidental CBU period is a manual process to be discussed with your IBM rep, but showing good faith by using the commands to undo the CBU, rather than continuing to run with the increased MSU capacity, is probably a factor in value discussions. Note SCRT reports for that month will also pick up on the extra MSU as they are used, which may affect non-IBM software pricing.
