Automatically Renewing a UCS Package

Auto-renewal can prevent your clusters 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 cluster expires and the billing cycle.
  • The auto-renewal period of a cluster depends on the subscription term. For example, if you select 3-month renewal duration, your cluster is automatically renewed for three months before each expiration.
  • You can enable auto-renewal anytime before a cluster expires. 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.
  • After auto-renewal is enabled, you can still renew the cluster manually if you want to. After a manual renewal is complete, auto-renewal is still valid, and the renewal payment will be deducted from your account seven days before the new expiry date.
  • By default, the renewal payment is deducted from your account seven days before the new expiry date. You can change this auto-renewal payment date as required.

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

  5. 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 3-month renewal duration and do not select Preset Auto-renewals, your subscription is automatically renewed for three months before each expiration.
