How Do I Stop Services and Release Resources?

After you purchase a resource on Huawei Cloud but you do not complete the payment or renewal for the product, you will enter a grace period. If you still do not complete the payment or renewal after the grace period has ended, you will enter a retention period, during which the resources will be suspended. If you still do not complete the payment or renewal after the retention period has ended, your data stored in the cloud service will be deleted and the resource will be released.

• Grace period: When you do not renew a yearly/monthly subscription before it expires or a pay-per-use resource is in the arrears state, Huawei Cloud provides a grace period during which you can renew the resource or top up your account. During the grace period, you can still access and use your cloud service. Huawei Cloud will send you an email or text message to remind you to renew the resource or top up your account.
• Retention period: During the grace period, if you do not renew the yearly/monthly subscription or pay off the arrears for the pay-per-use resource, the resource enters the retention period after the grace period has expired. During this period, your cloud services cannot be accessed or used, but your stored cloud data will be retained. Huawei Cloud will send you an email or text message to remind you to renew the resource or top up your account.
