Freezing an Account

After a customer is associated with you in the reseller model, their account is frozen by default. If you also need to freeze their resources, you can go to Customer Management in Partner Center.

You can freeze or unfreeze accounts of your customers associated in the reseller model.

Impacts of Freezing Accounts

If a customer's account is frozen, the customer cannot buy, renew, or change resources. Some of the provisioned resources may be unavailable, but they still incur fees.
