Introduction

If a yearly/monthly MRS cluster expires, the ECSs cannot run properly. If you want to continue using the MRS cluster, you need to renew it within the specified period. Otherwise, the cluster service will be terminated and data in the system will be permanently deleted.

Only yearly/monthly MRS clusters can be renewed. Pay-per-use MRS clusters can run as long as you have sufficient account balance.

If your subscription is renewed before it expires, all resources are retained and your MRS cluster is not affected. For details about the statuses of an MRS cluster after it expires, see Impacts of Expiration.

Renewal Functions

Table 1 describes the functions related to the renewal of yearly/monthly MRS clusters.

Description

Manually Renewing an MRS Cluster

You can renew a yearly/monthly MRS cluster on the MRS console anytime as long as it is not deleted automatically.

Auto-renewing an MRS Cluster

After auto-renewal is enabled, MRS automatically renews the subscription before the subscription expires. This prevents resources from being automatically deleted if you forget to manually renew the subscription.

You can renew your subscription across the life cycle of your yearly/monthly MRS cluster, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 MRS cluster lifecycle
  • An MRS cluster is in the Running state from the time when it is purchased to the time when it expires.
  • After the cluster expires, the cluster status changes to Expired.
  • If the MRS cluster is not renewed upon expiration, it enters the grace period. If it is not renewed after the grace period ends, the status changes to Frozen.
  • If you do not renew your subscription after the grace period expires, your resource enters a retention period. If you do not renew the subscription within the retention period, your resource is automatically deleted.

Auto-renewal can be enabled anytime before a subscription expires. The system attempts to automatically renew the subscription at 03:00 seven days before the subscription expires. If the fee deduction fails, there will be one attempt at 03:00 every day until the subscription expires or the renewal is successful. You can change the auto-payment date for renewal as required.
