Auto-renewing an Instance
Auto-renewal can prevent instances from being automatically deleted if you forget to manually renew them. The auto-renewal rules are as follows:
- The first auto-renewal date is based on when an instance expires and the billing cycle.
- The auto-renewal period is subject to the renewal duration you select.
- Your monthly subscription will be renewed each month.
- Your yearly subscription will be renewed each year.
- You can enable auto-renewal anytime before an instance expires. By default, the system will make the first attempt to renew your account 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 expired.
- After auto-renewal is enabled, you can still renew the instance manually if you want to. After a manual renewal is complete, auto-renewal is still valid, and the renewal fee will be deducted from your account seven days before the new expiry date.
- By default, the renewal fee is deducted from your account seven days before the new expiry date. You can change this auto-renewal payment date as required.
For more information about auto-renewal rules, see Auto-Renewal Rules.
