When to Renew Subscriptions

If a yearly/monthly DB instance is about to expire but you want to continue using it, you need to renew the DB instance subscription within a specified period, or resources, such as vCPUs, memory, will be automatically released, and data will be lost and cannot be restored.

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

If you renew a DB instance before it expires, resources will be retained and you can continue using the DB instance. For details about DB instance statuses after they have expired and the associated impacts, see Impact of Expiration.

How to Renew Subscriptions

You can renew a yearly/monthly DB instance manually or automatically.

Table 1 Renewing a yearly/monthly DB instance

Method

Description

Manually Renewing a DB Instance

You can renew a yearly/monthly DB instance on the console any time before it is automatically deleted.

Auto-renewing a DB Instance

You can enable auto-renewal to automatically renew the DB instance before it expires. This prevents resources from being deleted in case you forget to renew a subscription.

You can select a method to renew a yearly/monthly DB instance based on the phase the DB instance is currently in.

Figure 1 Selecting a renewal method based on the DB instance's current phase
  • A DB instance is in the Available state after it is provisioned.
  • When a DB instance subscription expires, the status will change from Available to Expired.
  • If an expired DB instance is not renewed, it enters a grace period. If it is not renewed by the time the grace period expires, the DB instance will be frozen and enter a retention period.
  • If you do not renew the subscription before the retention period expires, your resources will be automatically deleted.
NOTE:
  • During the retention period, you cannot access and use your DB instance but data in the DB instance will be retained. The retention period for Huawei Cloud International website is 15 days.
  • During the grace period, you can access and use only some resources of your DB instance. The grace period for Huawei Cloud International website is 15 days.

You can enable auto-renewal any time before a DB 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. You can change the auto-payment date for renewal as required.
