Legacy OCPU billing metric for APEX Service

OCPU is a legacy billing metric and is no longer available when provisioning a new Oracle APEX Application Development (APEX Service) instance. OCPU will be retired for APEX Service at some point in the future. Oracle recommends switching from using the OCPU billing metric to the ECPU billing metric.

For more information, see Update to ECPU Billing Model for APEX Service.
