Resource Freezing, Release, Stopping, Deletion, and Unsubscription

Updated on 2024-05-13 GMT+08:00

Why Are My RDS Resources Released?

If your subscriptions have expired and not renewed, or you are in arrears due to an insufficient balance, your resources enter a grace period. If the renewal is still not completed or the outstanding amount is not paid off when the grace period ends, the resources enter a retention period, during which the resources will be unavailable. If the renewal is still not completed or the outstanding amount is still not paid off when the retention period ends, the stored data will be deleted and the cloud service resources will be released. For details, see Service Suspension and Resource Release.

Why Are My RDS Resources Frozen?

Your resources may be frozen for a variety of reasons. The most common reason is that you are in arrears.

Can I Still Back Up Data If My DB Instance Is Frozen?

No. If your RDS instance is frozen due to arrears, you need to unfreeze the instance first.

How Do I Unfreeze My Resources?

If your resources are frozen due to arrears, to unfreeze your resources, you can renew your resources or top up your account. RDS instances frozen due to arrears can be renewed, released, or deleted. Yearly/Monthly RDS instances that have expired cannot be unsubscribed from, but those that have not expired can.

What Happens When My Resources Are Frozen, Unfrozen, or Released?

  • After your resources are frozen:
    • They cannot be accessed, causing downtime. For example, if your RDS instance is frozen, it cannot be connected to.
    • If they are yearly/monthly resources, no changes can be made to them.
    • They can be unsubscribed from or deleted manually.
  • After your resources are unfrozen, you can connect to them again.
  • If your resources are released, your instances will be deleted. Before the deletion, RDS determines whether to move the instances to the recycle bin based on the recycling policy you specified.

How Do I Renew My Resources?

After a yearly/monthly RDS instance expires, you can renew it on the Renewals page. For details, see Renewal Management.

Can My Resources Be Recovered After They Are Released or Unsubscribed From?

If your instance is moved to the recycle bin after being deleted and is within the retention period, you can rebuild it from the recycle bin. Otherwise, data cannot be restored.

Before unsubscribing from a resource, confirm the resource information carefully. If you have unsubscribed from a resource by mistake, you are advised to purchase a new one.

Why Is My RDS DB Instance Still Billed After Being Stopped?

After a DB instance is stopped, the ECS where the DB instance is located is no longer billed. Other resources, including EIPs, storage resources, RDS for MySQL database proxies, and backups, are still billed.

How Do I Delete an RDS Instance?

An RDS instance cannot be deleted if any operation is being performed on it. For example, the instance is being created, rebooted, or restored, or its instance class is being changed. You can delete the instance only after the operation is complete.
