Enabling or Modifying Auto Renewal

You can keep auto-renewal enabled. Then, you do not have to worry about your resources being deleted if you forget to renew them. If auto-renewal is enabled, DBSS will automatically renew your subscription before it expires. After purchasing and enabling a database audit instance, you can manually enable or modify auto-renewal on the DBSS console.

If you have enabled auto-renewal but no longer wish to automatically renew the subscription, you can disable it before the auto-renewal date (7 days before the expiry date by default) to avoid unexpected expenditures.
