For DSC instances, only yearly/monthly billed ones can be renewed. For the ones billed on a pay-per-use basis, you only need to ensure that your account balance is enough.

Introduction

After the DSC instance purchased in yearly/monthly mode expires, its functions will become unavailable. If you want to continue using DSC, you need to renew the subscription within the specified period.

To avoid unnecessary loss caused by security issues, renew your subscription before the retention period expires. If you do not renew the subscription, you cannot use DSC.

Renewal Functions

Table 1 lists the functions related to renew a yearly/monthly-billed DSC instance.

**Table 1** Renewal-related functions
Function	Description
Manual Renewal	You can renew a yearly/monthly DSC instance on the DSC console at any time before it is automatically deleted.
Auto-Renewal	After auto-renewal is enabled, DSC automatically renews the subscription before the subscription expires. This prevents resources from being automatically deleted in the event that you forget to manually renew the subscription.

In different phases of the lifecycle of a yearly/monthly DSC instance, you can choose a renewal mode best fit your needs. For details, see Figure 1.

Figure 1 DSC life cycle

Auto-renewal can be enabled before your DSC instance expires. The system will automatically renew your DSC instance at 3:00 a.m. on the seventh day before it expires. If the auto-renewal fails, the system will try again at 3:00 a.m. every day until DSC expires or the renewal is successful. Renewing resources 7 days before expiration is a default value. You can change it if needed.
