Auto-renewing DEW

Auto-renewal can prevent Dedicated HSM instances from being automatically deleted if you forget to manually renew them. The auto-renewal rules are as follows:

• The first auto-renewal date is based on when the Dedicated HSM instance expires and the billing cycle.
• The auto-renewal period of Dedicated HSM instances depends on the subscription term. For example, if you select a 3-month duration, the instance automatically renews the subscription for 3 months before each expiration.
• You can enable auto-renewal any time before the Dedicated HSM instance expires. By default, the system will make the first attempt to charge your account for the renewal at 03:00, seven days before the expiry date. If this attempt fails, it will make another attempt at 03:00 every day until the subscription is renewed or expires.
• You can still perform a manual renewal even when auto-renewal is enabled. After a manual renewal is complete, auto-renewal is still valid, and the renewal fee will be deducted from your account seven days before the new expiry date.
• By default, the system automatically deducts fees from your account 7 days before your instance expires. You can change the renewal payment date if needed, for example, 6 days or 5 days before the instance expires.
