Overview

COC cannot run properly after a yearly/monthly package expires. If you want to continue using COC, you need to renew it within the specified period. Otherwise, COC resources will be automatically deleted and you cannot perform related operations on COC.

Renewal is only applicable to yearly/monthly resources. Pay-per-use resources can continue running as long as there is enough balance in your account.

If COC is renewed before it expires, COC can continue running.

You can renew a yearly/monthly resource package manually or automatically by referring to the following table.

You can renew a package in different phases of its lifecycle, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Package lifecycle

• A COC package is in the Running state after it is purchased.
• When the subscription expires, the status will change from Running to Expired.
• If a package is not renewed upon expiration, it enters the grace period. If the package is not renewed after the grace period expires, the status changes to Frozen.
• If you do not renew the subscription before the retention period expires, the corresponding resources will be automatically deleted.

For details about the grace period and retention period, see What Is a Grace Period of Huawei Cloud? How Long Is It? and What Is a Retention Period of Huawei Cloud? How Long Is It?

You can enable auto-renewal anytime before COC resources expire. 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. You can change the auto-payment date for renewal as required.
