Auto-renewing a Cloud Phone

Auto-renewal can prevent cloud phones 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 cloud phone expires and the billing cycle.
The auto-renewal duration is customized by you.
- Monthly subscriptions are renewed each month. (If the subscription duration is three months, the subscription will be automatically renewed for one month before it expires.)
- Yearly subscriptions are renewed each year. (If the subscription duration is two years, the subscription will be automatically renewed for one year before it expires.)
You can enable auto-renewal anytime before a cloud phone expires. By default, the system will make the first attempt to charge your account for the renewal at 03:00:00, seven days before the expiration date. If this attempt fails, it will make another attempt at 03:00:00 every day until the subscription is renewed or expires.
After auto-renewal is enabled, you can still renew the cloud phone manually. After a manual renewal is complete, auto-renewal is still valid, and the renewal expenditure will be deducted from your account seven days before the new expiration date.
By default, the renewal expenditure is deducted from your account seven days before the new expiration date. You can change this auto-renew payment date as required.

For more information about auto-renewal rules, see Auto-Renewal Rules.

The yearly/monthly cloud phone has not expired.

You can enable auto-renewal on the purchase page, as shown in Figure 1.
