When Does an Automatic Renewal Take Place?

If you do not set the auto-renewal deduction date, Huawei Cloud will initiate a payment request at 03:00 seven days before the resource expires by default. Once you set the fee deduction date, the system initiate a payment request at 03:00 on the specified date. Ensure that you have sufficient account balance or credits in your added credit card. For details about how to set the deduction date for auto-renewal, see Setting Deduction Date for Auto-Renewal.

If the first fee deduction for auto-renewal fails due to insufficient account balance or credit balance of your added card, the system then will attempt to charge fees at 03:00 every day before the resource expires. Once the fee deduction is successful, the resource is renewed.

If you enable auto-renewal for a resource on the expiration date and the resource will expire earlier than 03:00 (GMT+08:00) on that day, the auto-renewal may fail. To avoid this situation, the auto-renewal fee deduction can be triggered immediately in either of the following scenarios:

• You enable auto-renewal for a resource before 03:00 (GMT+08:00), and the resource will expire before 03:00 (GMT+08:00) on that day.
• You enable auto-renewal for a resource after 03:00 (GMT+08:00), and the resource will expire before 03:00 (GMT+08:00) the next day.
