Auto-renewal makes renewal easier and prevents RabbitMQ instances from being automatically deleted if you forget to manually renew them. The auto-renewal rules are as follows:

The first auto-renewal date and billing cycle are calculated based on the expiration date of the RabbitMQ instance.
The auto-renewal period of a RabbitMQ instance varies depending on how you enable auto-renewal.
Auto-renewal can be enabled any time before a RabbitMQ instance expires. The system attempts to automatically renew the instance at 03:00 seven days before the instance expires. If the fee deduction fails, there is one attempt at 03:00 every day until the instance expires or the renewal is successful.
After auto-renewal is enabled, you can still manually renew your RabbitMQ instance. After a manual renewal is complete, auto-renewal still takes effect, and fees start to be deducted seven days before the new subscription expires.
Fees are deducted seven days before your subscription expires. You can change this deduction date as required.

Learn about Auto-Renewal Rules before enabling auto-renewal.

Prerequisites

Your yearly/monthly RabbitMQ instance has not expired.

- On the Auto Renewals page, you can view the resources for which auto-renewal has been enabled.
- You can enable auto-renewal for resources on the Manual Renewals, Pay-per-Use After Expiration, and Renewals Canceled pages.

Select a renewal period, specify the desired auto-renewal times, and click Pay.

If auto-renewal is enabled on the Renewals page, the auto-renewal period is subject to the selected renewal period and number of auto-renewals. For example, if you select three months renewal duration and do not select Preset auto-renewals, your subscription is automatically renewed for three months before each expiration.
