Auto Renewal
Auto-renewal reduces the management cost of manual renewal and prevents MRS clusters from being automatically deleted if you forget to manually renew the subscription. The auto-renewal rules are as follows:
- The first auto-renewal date and billing cycle are calculated based on the expiration date of the MRS cluster.
- The auto-renewal period of an MRS cluster varies depending on how you enable auto-renewal.
- Auto-renewal can be enabled before the MRS cluster expires. The system attempts to automatically renew the MRS cluster at 03:00 on the seventh day before the MRS cluster expires. If the fee deduction fails, the system attempts to automatically renew the MRS cluster at 03:00 every day until the MRS cluster expires or the renewal is successful.
- After auto-renewal is enabled, you can manually renew the MRS cluster. After a manual renewal is complete, auto-renewal is still valid, and fees start to be deducted seven days before the new subscription expires.
- By default, the system automatically deducts fees seven days before the auto-renewal expires. You can change the deduction date as required, for example, six days before the auto-renewal expires or five days before the auto-renewal expires.
Enable auto-renewal for yearly/monthly MRS clusters. For more information about auto-renewal, see Auto-Renewal.
