How Do I Renew the Service?

About Renewal

Currently, GaussDB(DWS) supports the pay-per-use billing mode and yearly/monthly billing mode.

• In yearly/monthly mode, you pay only once when purchasing the service and no extra fees will be charged during your use of the service. After a yearly/monthly subscription expires, the resources will enter a retention period. If you want to continue using the resources, renew the subscription. For details, see .
• Pay-per-use mode: The system settles the fees by hour. You can use the service as long as your account balance is sufficient. If your account balance is insufficient, it will be in arrears. Top up your account in a timely manner.
