Auto Renewal

Auto-renewal is easier and prevents MAS instances from being automatically deleted if you forget to manually renew them. The auto-renewal rules are as follows:

The first auto-renewal date and billing cycle are calculated based on the expiration date of the MAS instance.
The auto-renewal duration is customized by you. For example, if you select 3-month renewal duration, your instance is automatically renewed for three months before each expiration.
Auto-renewal can be enabled anytime before a MAS instance expires. The system attempts to automatically renew the instance at 03:00 seven days before the instance expires. If the fee deduction fails, there will be one attempt at 03:00 every day until the instance expires or the renewal is successful.
After auto-renewal is enabled, you can still manually renew your instance. After a manual renewal is complete, auto-renewal is still valid, and fees start to be deducted seven days before the new subscription expires.
Fees are deducted seven days before your subscription expires. You can change this deduction date as required.
