Auto Renewal

Auto-renewal reduces the management cost of manual renewal and prevents MRS clusters from being automatically deleted if you forget to manually renew the subscription. The auto-renewal rules are as follows:

  • The first auto-renewal date and billing cycle are calculated based on the expiration date of the MRS cluster.
  • The auto-renewal period of an MRS cluster varies depending on how you enable auto-renewal.
  • Auto-renewal can be enabled before the MRS cluster expires. The system attempts to automatically renew the MRS cluster at 03:00 on the seventh day before the MRS cluster expires. If the fee deduction fails, the system attempts to automatically renew the MRS cluster at 03:00 every day until the MRS cluster expires or the renewal is successful.
  • After auto-renewal is enabled, you can manually renew the MRS cluster. After a manual renewal is complete, auto-renewal is still valid, and fees start to be deducted seven days before the new subscription expires.
  • By default, the system automatically deducts fees seven days before the auto-renewal expires. You can change the deduction date as required, for example, six days before the auto-renewal expires or five days before the auto-renewal expires.

Enable auto-renewal for yearly/monthly MRS clusters. For more information about auto-renewal, see Auto-Renewal.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the yearly/monthly MRS cluster has not expired.

Enabling Auto-renewal on the Buy MRS Cluster Page

Enabling Auto-Renewal on the Renewals Page

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Hover over Billing & Costs in the upper part of the console and choose Renewal from the drop-down list.

    Go to the Renewals page.

  3. Customize search criteria.

    • In the Auto Renewals tab, you can view the resources for which auto-renewal has been enabled.
    • You can enable auto-renewal for resources in the Manual Renewals, Pay-per-Use After Expiration, and Renewals Canceled tabs.

  4. Enable auto-renewal for yearly/monthly resources.

    • Enabling auto-renewal for a single resource: Select the MRS cluster for which you want to enable auto-renewal and click Renew in the Operation column.

  5. Select a renewal period, specify the desired auto-renewal times, and click Pay.

    If auto-renewal is enabled on the Renewals page, the auto-renewal period is subject to the selected renewal period and number of auto-renewals. For example, if you select three months renewal duration and do not select Preset auto-renewals, your subscription is automatically renewed for three months before each expiration.
