  I know that it is possible to use the AWS Scheduler to stop and start RDS instances.

  For my purposes we just want to resize it e.g. 16 to 4 processors, so it can still work in low usage periods but will not cost so much. Has anyone ever done anything like this? We do use Terraform to set up our instances, if that's helpful.

  Thanks in advance
