Auto-Renewing a DataArts Insight Instance

Auto-renewal can prevent DataArts Insight instances 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 DataArts Insight instance expires and the billing cycle.
The auto-renewal period of a DataArts Insight instance depends on the subscription term. For example, if you select a 3-month renewal period, your instance is automatically renewed for three months every time before it expires.
You can enable auto-renewal any time before a DataArts Insight instance 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 instance 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-renew payment date as required.
