Can I Retain the Original Configurations When I Unsubscribe from a WAF Instance and Then Purchase Another One?
- If you choose the pay-per-use billing mode, the configurations for the original WAF instance can be saved and used for the newly enabled WAF instance.
- If you choose the yearly/monthly billing mode, the configurations for the original WAF instance can be saved and used for the newly enabled WAF instance only when they are in the same region. If they are not in the same region, such configurations are not saved.
Unsubscribed WAF Instance and Newly Purchased WAF Instance Billed on a Yearly/Monthly Basis in the Same Region
After you unsubscribe from a WAF instance, its configurations are retained for 24 hours.
After you unsubscribe from WAF, WAF suspends the protection for your domain names. After purchasing WAF again, you only need to switch the WAF working mode of the domain name to Enabled. WAF then starts protecting the domain name based on the protection rules configured on WAF.

To retain your configurations of the original WAF instance after you unsubscribe, purchase a new WAF instance within 24 hours.
Unsubscribed WAF Instance and Newly Purchased WAF Instance Billed on a Yearly/Monthly Basis Not in the Same Region
After you unsubscribe from a WAF instance, its configurations are not saved.
After you purchase a WAF instance again, add the domain name to the new WAF instance and configure protection rules again.
