Auto-renewing EdgeSec

Auto-renewal can prevent EdgeSec resources 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 EdgeSec expires and the billing cycle.
  • The EdgeSec auto-renewal duration is of your choice For example, if you set the subscription duration to three months, EdgeSec will be automatically renewed for another three months before expiration.
  • You can enable auto-renewal anytime before EdgeSec 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.
  • You can still perform a manual renewal even when auto-renewal is enabled. After a manual renewal is complete, auto-renew is still in effect, and auto-renewal will be done 7 days before the new subscription expires.
  • By default, the system automatically deducts fees from your account 7 days before your instance expires. You can change the renewal payment date if needed, for example, 6 days or 5 days before the instance expires.

For details, see Auto-Renewal Rules.
