Will My Data Be Retained If My Package Expires or My Pay-per-Use Resources Are in Arrears?

After a resource enters a grace period or retention period, Huawei Cloud will notify you of this by email or text message. If you still do not complete the renewal or top-up after the retention period has ended, your data stored in the DAS service will be deleted and the resources will be released.

• A grace period is the time for you to renew yearly/monthly subscriptions or for you to settle outstanding amount caused by insufficient balance. During this period, some pay-per-use resources will be inaccessible, and new services are blocked.
• A retention period is the phase your resources will enter if your yearly/monthly subscriptions remain unrenewed or any outstanding amounts for pay-per-use resources are still unpaid when the grace period ends. During this period, the resources cannot be used, but the resource data stored will be retained.

For details about how to set the grace period and retention period, see Resource Suspension and Release.
