January 20, 2026

General changes

  • TiDB Cloud Starter

    • Display real client IP addresses in the Slow Query view and the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST table (beta).

      TiDB Cloud now supports client IP pass-through, enabling the Slow Query view and the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST table, to display the real client IP address instead of the Load Balancer (LB) IP. This feature helps accurately identify the true source of database requests for better troubleshooting and analysis.

      Currently, this feature is in beta and is available only in the AWS region Frankfurt (eu-central-1).

  • TiDB Cloud Essential

    • Support data migration (beta).

      Now you can use the Data Migration feature in the TiDB Cloud console to seamlessly migrate data from any MySQL-compatible database to your TiDB Cloud Essential clusters.

      • Supported source databases include various MySQL-compatible systems, such as self-hosted MySQL, Amazon RDS, Alibaba Cloud RDS, and PolarDB.

      • Supported connection methods for data migration include public connection and PrivateLink to ensure both ease of use and enterprise-grade security:

        • Public connection: quickly connects to your source database over the internet using secure and encrypted channels.
        • PrivateLink: establishes a secure and private connection between your source VPC and TiDB Cloud, bypassing the public internet to ensure maximum data privacy and reduced network latency.

      Currently, the Data Migration feature only supports logical mode.

      For more information, see Migrate Existing and Incremental Data Using Data Migration and Migrate Incremental Data Using Data Migration.

    • Display real client IP addresses in the Slow Query view, DB audit logs, and the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST table (beta)

      TiDB Cloud now supports client IP pass-through, enabling the Slow Query view, DB audit logs, and the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST table, to display the real client IP address instead of the Load Balancer (LB) IP. This feature helps accurately identify the true source of database requests for better troubleshooting and analysis.

      Currently, this feature is in beta and is available only in the AWS region Frankfurt (eu-central-1).

Console changes

  • Improve the support experience with plan-aware support options.

    The TiDB Cloud console now offers plan-aware support options to enhance the support experience across all subscription plans. These updates include:

    • Plan-aware support redirection: on the cluster overview page, selecting Get Support in the Actions column directs you to the most relevant resource based on your subscription plan. Users on the Basic plan are guided to the Support Plan panel, and users on paid plans are directed to the Support Portal.
    • Refined Help Center menu: rename help menu items to Support Options and Support Tickets to better reflect available services. Add tooltips to clarify that technical support tickets are available only for paid plans.
    • Clear community support access: within the Support Plan options, Slack and Discord are clearly identified as the primary technical support channels for Basic plan users. The following documentation is streamlined to clarify support channel policies and community access: TiDB Cloud Support, Connected Care Overview, and Connected Care Details.
    • Action-oriented Support Plan UI: redesign the Support Plan window to prioritize the support options available for your current subscription, rather than generic plan comparisons. This change helps you quickly identify how to get support based on your active plan.

    For more information, see TiDB Cloud Support.
