Auto-renewing DDoS Mitigation

Auto-renewal can prevent DDoS Mitigation 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 period are calculated based on the expiration date of the DDoS Mitigation instance.
  • The auto-renewal period of a DDoS Mitigation instance depends on the subscription duration. For example, if you select 3-month renewal duration, your DDoS Mitigation is automatically renewed for three months before each expiration.
  • Auto-renewal can be enabled anytime before a DDoS Mitigation 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 will be 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 DDoS Mitigation instance. After a manual renewal is complete, auto-renewal is still valid, and the renewal fee will be deducted from your account seven days before the new expiry date.
  • By default, the system automatically deducts fees from your account 7 days before your instance expires. You can change the renewal payment date if needed, for example, 6 days or 5 days before the instance expires.

For details, see Auto-Renewal Rules.
