Resolution

1. Get the autoscaler broker unique identifier:

cf curl '/v2/services?q=label:app-autoscaler' | jq -r '.resources[0].metadata.guid'

Note: This assumes you have jq installed.

2. Get the plans associated with the broker:

cf curl '/v2/service_plans?q=service_guid:<GUID_FROM_STEP_1>'

Please write down the guid of the "standard" plan
3. Get the instance ID of the service you want to migrate:

cf service <service-name> --guid

4. Update the service metadata:

cf curl -X PUT -d '{"service_plan_guid":"<standard_plan_guid_from_step_2>"}' '/v2/service_instances/<instance_guid_from_step_3>' 

5. Confirm the plan was updated:

cf service <service_name>
