Auto-renewing a BMS

Auto-renewal can prevent BMSs 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 the BMS expires and the billing cycle.
The auto-renewal period of a BMS varies depending on how you enable auto-renewal.
You can enable auto-renewal any time before a BMS 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.
After auto-renewal is enabled, you can still renew the BMS manually if you want to. After a manual renewal is complete, auto-renewal is still valid, and the renewal fee will be deducted from your account seven days before the new expiry date.
Fees are deducted seven days before your subscription expires. You can change this deduction date as required.

Learn about Auto-Renewal Rules before enabling auto-renewal.

The yearly/monthly BMS is not expired.

You can enable auto-renewal on the BMS purchase page (see Figure 1). For more information, see Creating a BMS.

The auto-renewal period of a BMS depends on the subscription term.

Log in to the management console.
Hover over Billing & Costs in the upper part of the console and choose Renewal from the drop-down list.
The Renewals page is displayed.
Set the search criteria.
- You can view the resources for which auto-renewal has been enabled on the Auto Renewals page.
- You can enable auto-renewal for resources on the Manual Renewals, Pay-per-Use After Expiration, and Renewals Canceled pages.
Enable auto-renewal for yearly/monthly resources.
- Enabling auto-renewal for a single resource: Select the BMS for which you want to enable auto-renewal and choose More > Enable Auto-Renew in the Operation column.
- Enabling auto-renewal for multiple resources at a time: Select the BMSs for which you want to enable auto-renewal and click Enable Auto-Renew above the list.
Select a renewal period, specify the auto-renewal times, and click OK.
If auto-renewal is enabled on the Renewals page, the auto-renewal period is subject to the selected renewal period and number of auto-renewals. For example, if you select three months renewal period and do not select Preset Auto-renewals, your subscription is automatically renewed for three months before each expiration.
