Auto-renewing HSS

Auto-renewal can prevent HSS 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 HSS expires and the billing cycle.
  • The auto-renewal period of an HSS depends on the subscription term. Monthly subscriptions renew each month, and yearly subscriptions renew each year.
  • You can enable auto-renewal any time before HSS 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 HSS 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.
