When to Renew Subscriptions

If you want to continue using a package after it expires, you need to renew the package within the specified period. If it is not renewed, the pay-per-use billing is automatically used. After a package is renewed, it takes effect after the current validity period expires. If the package cannot meet your requirements, you can purchase the package again.

Only packages can be renewed. If you use resources on a pay-per-use basis, just ensure that your account has a valid payment method configured or you have a top-up account with sufficient balance.

How to Renew Subscriptions

Table 1 describes the two methods of renewing a package.

**Table 1** Package renewal methods
Method	Description
Manually Renewing a Package	Before a package is automatically deleted, you can manually renew it on the Renewals page.
Automatically Renewing a Package	If auto-renewal is enabled, the system automatically renews the subscription before the subscription expires. This prevents the cost from increasing if you forget to manually renew the subscription.

You can select a method to renew a package based on the phase it is currently in.

Auto-renewal can be enabled anytime before a package expires. The system attempts to automatically renew the package at 03:00 seven days (default, and can be user-defined) before it expires. If the deduction fails, there is one attempt at 03:00 every day until the package expires or the renewal is successful.
