After a resource enters a grace period or retention period, HUAWEI CLOUD will notify you of this by email or text message. If you still do not complete the renewal or top-up after the retention period has ended, your data stored in the DAS service will be deleted and the resources will be released.

• Grace period: Once a monthly/yearly subscription has expired or a pay-per-use resource becomes in arrears, HUAWEI CLOUD provides a period of time during which you can renew the resource or top up your account. Within the grace period, you can still access and use your cloud service.
• Retention period: If you do not renew the yearly/monthly subscription or pay off the arrears within the grace period, the resource enters a 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.

For details about how to set the grace period and retention period, see Service Suspension and Resource Release.
