Automatically Renewing a Service Mesh

Auto-renewal can prevent your service mesh from being automatically deleted if you forget to manually renew it. The auto-renewal rules are as follows:

  • The first auto-renewal date is based on when the service mesh expires and the billing cycle.
  • The auto-renewal period of a service mesh depends on the subscription term. For example, if you select 3-month renewal duration, your service mesh is automatically renewed for three months before each expiration.
  • You can enable auto-renewal anytime before a service mesh expires. By default, the system will make the first attempt to charge your account for the renewal at 03:00, seven days before the expiry date. If this attempt fails, it will make another attempt at 03:00 every day until the subscription is renewed or expires.
  • After auto-renewal is enabled, you can still renew the service mesh manually if you want to. 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 renewal fee is deducted from your account seven days before the new expiry date. You can change this auto-renewal payment date as required.

For more information about auto-renewal rules, see Auto-Renewal Rules.

Prerequisites

The yearly/monthly service mesh has not expired.

Enabling Auto-Renewal During Purchase

You can enable auto-renewal on the page for purchasing a service mesh.

Auto-renewal complies with the following rules:

  • Monthly billing: Your subscription will be renewed each month.
  • Yearly billing: Your subscription will be renewed each year.

Enabling Auto-Renewal on the Renewals Page

This method is suitable for all resources.

  1. Log in to the ASM console.
  2. Hover over Billing & Costs in the upper part of the console and choose Renewal from the drop-down list.

    The Renewals page is displayed.

  3. Set the search criteria.
    • You can view the resources for which auto-renewal has been enabled on the Auto Renewals page.
    • You can enable auto-renewal for resources on the Manual Renewals, Pay-per-Use After Expiration, and Renewals Canceled tabs.
  4. Enable auto-renewal.
    • Enabling auto-renewal for a single resource: Select the resource for which you want to enable auto-renewal and choose More > Enable Auto-Renew.
    • Enabling auto-renewal for multiple resources at a time: Select the resources for which you want to enable auto-renewal and click Enable Auto-Renew above the list.
  5. Select a renewal period, specify the auto-renewal times, and click OK.

    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 3-month renewal duration and do not select Preset Auto-renewals, your subscription is automatically renewed for three months before each expiration.
