Impact of Arrears

If you are in arrears when using a model service, the resource is frozen and enters the grace period. The resource status changes to Frozen. At this point, the frozen resources cannot be used, and new models that have not been subscribed to will not be supported for subscription.

Both the grace and retention periods are 15 days. After the retention period expires, if you still have not paid the account arrears, the related resources and order records under your account for this model will be cleared, and the data cannot be recovered. To use the model service again, pay off the outstanding amount and subscribe to the model service again.

Check your account balance and top up your account in time to ensure stable online services.
