Overview

Introduction

After the yearly/monthly subscription expires, KooDrive operations will be affected. If a yearly/monthly resource is about to expire but you want to continue using it, renew the subscription within a specified period. Otherwise, resources will be automatically released, and data will be lost and cannot be restored.

Only yearly/monthly subscriptions can be renewed. If you use pay-per-use KooDrive, just ensure that your account has a valid payment method configured or a top-up account with a sufficient balance.

If you renew your subscription before it expires, resources will be retained and you can continue using KooDrive. For details about KooDrive statuses after it has expired and the associated impacts, see Impact of Expiration.

Renewal Functions

Table 1 describes how to renew your yearly/monthly KooDrive.

You can select a method to renew your yearly/monthly KooDrive resource based on the phase it is currently in.

Figure 1 KooDrive lifecycle

• A KooDrive resource is in the Running state after it is provisioned.
• When a KooDrive resource expires, the status will change from Running to Expired.
• If an expired KooDrive resource is not renewed, it enters a grace period. If it is not renewed before the grace period ends, it will be frozen and enter a retention period.
• If you do not renew the subscription before the retention period ends, your resources will be automatically deleted.

• Huawei Cloud has specific grace and retention periods for each tier of customers. You can check your tier by logging in to the management console and choosing Basic Information under your username in the upper right corner.

You can enable auto-renewal anytime before a KooDrive resource expires. By default, the system will first attempt to charge your account for the renewal at 00:03:00 seven days before the expiration date. If this attempt fails, it will reattempt at 00:03:00 every day until the subscription is renewed or expires. By default, renewal charges are deducted from your account seven days before the new expiration date. You can change this auto-renew payment date as required.
