(Optional) Backup storage

FlexusRDS provides free backup storage of the same size as your purchased database storage. If the backup storage usage exceeds your purchased database storage, the billing starts.

FlexusRDS instances are accessible from public networks. Traffic from public networks is billed.

Specification Changes

Autoscaling up storage space: You can enable storage autoscaling as required. You will be billed for new storage space.

Renewal

An upfront payment is required when you purchase yearly/monthly instances. No additional fees are incurred as you use the instances.

To renew a subscription, see Renewing DB Instances.

Expiration

When a yearly/monthly instance expires, no operations can be performed on the console. The monitoring, alarm reporting, and other O&M operations will also be unavailable. If your account is not topped up or the resource package is not renewed before the retention period expires, the DB instance will become unavailable and data stored in the DB instance will be deleted and cannot be recovered.
