If your account is in arrears, you will be impacted for using your resources.

If your yearly/monthly resource has expired and is not renewed, the resource enters the grace period. If you do not renew the monthly/yearly resource within the grace period, the resource enters a retention period after the grace period has expired.
You cannot perform any operations on yearly/monthly resources that are in the grace or retention period. To ensure that your services are not affected, renew the resources before they expire.
If your pay-per-use resource is in arrears, the resource enters the grace period. If you do not pay off the arrears of the pay-per-use resource within the grace period, the resource enters a retention period after the grace period has expired.
You can still perform operations on pay-per-use resources in the grace period. However, you cannot perform any operations on them if they enter the retention period.
