Overview

When to Renew Subscriptions

If a yearly/monthly DBSS instance is about to expire but you want to continue using it, you need to renew the database audit instance subscription within a specified period, or the instance will be released and data will be lost and cannot be restored

Only yearly/monthly DBSS subscriptions can be renewed.

If you renew the DBSS before it expires, resources will be retained and you can continue using the DBSS. For details about ECS statuses after they have expired and the associated impacts, see Impacts of Expiration.

How to Renew Subscriptions

You can renew a yearly/monthly DBSS instance manually or automatically

You can select a method to renew DBSS subscription based on the phase the DBSS instance is currently in.

• A DBSS instance is in the Running state after it is provisioned.
• When a DBSS subscription expires, the resource status will change from Running to Expired.
• If expired DBSS is not renewed, it enters a grace period. If it is not renewed by the time the grace period expires, DBSS will be frozen and enter a retention period.
• If you do not renew the subscription within the retention period, your resources will be automatically deleted.

You can enable auto-renewal any time before DBSS 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 change the auto-payment date for renewal as required.
