Auto-renewing a Vault

Auto-renewal can prevent vaults 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 the vault expires and the billing cycle.
  • The auto-renewal period of a vault depends on the subscription term. For example, if you select a three-month renewal period, the vault subscription will be renewed for three months each time before expiry.
  • You can enable auto-renewal any time before a vault 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 expired.
  • After auto-renewal is enabled, you can still renew the vault manually if you want to. After a manual renewal is complete, auto-renewal is still valid, and the renewal charge will be deducted from your account seven days before the new expiry date.
  • By default, the renewal charge 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.
