Auto-renewing SA

Auto-renewal makes renewal easier and prevents SA instances from being automatically deleted if you forget to manually renew them. The auto-renewal rules are as follows:

• The first auto-renewal date and billing cycle are calculated based when your SA instance expires.
• The SA auto-renewal duration is of your choice For example, if you set the subscription duration to three months, SA will be automatically renewed for another three months before each expiration.
• You can enable auto-renewal anytime before your SA 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 expires.
• 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.
