Automatically Renewing a CCE Resource

Auto-renewal can prevent CCE clusters or nodes from being automatically deleted if you forget to manually renew them. The auto-renewal rules are as follows:

The first auto-renewal date is based on when the cluster or node expires and the billed usage period.
The auto-renewal period of a cluster or a node depends on the subscription term. For example, if you select 3-month renewal duration, your cluster or node is automatically renewed for three months before each expiration.
You can enable auto-renewal anytime before a cluster or a node expires. 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 cluster or node 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.
