Renewal Overview

Description

After a yearly/monthly subscription expires, Huawei Cloud Astro Zero cannot run properly. To continue using the service, you need to renew it within the specified period. If you do not renew, your data will be deleted and resources will be released. If you renew the service before the expiration date, all resources will be retained and Huawei Cloud Astro Zero will continue to run properly.

Description

Manually Renewing an Instance

You can renew yearly/monthly Huawei Cloud Astro Zero resources anytime on the console before it is automatically deleted.

Auto Renewal

You can enable auto-renewal to automatically renew Huawei Cloud Astro Zero resources before it expires. This prevents resources from being deleted in case you forget to renew a subscription.

You can select a method to renew your yearly/monthly Huawei Cloud Astro Zero resources based on the phase it is currently in. See Figure 1.

  • The resource is in the Running status after it is provisioned.
  • When the subscription expires, the status will change from Running to Expired.
  • If you do not renew the subscription when the resource expires, the grace period will start. If you do not renew the subscription after the grace period ends, the resource status will change from Expired to Frozen.
  • If you do not renew the subscription before the retention period expires, your resources will be automatically deleted.

For details about the grace period and retention period, see What Is a Grace Period of Huawei Cloud? How Long Is It? and What Is a Retention Period of Huawei Cloud? How Long Is It?

You can enable auto-renewal at any time before a Huawei Cloud Astro Zero resource expires. By default, the system will 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. By default, fees are deducted seven days before your subscription expires. You can change this deduction date as required.
