Overview

When to Renew Subscriptions

After a yearly/monthly CBH expires, it cannot run properly. If you want to continue using the CBH instance, you need to renew it within the specified period, or the CBH instance will be automatically released, and data will be lost and cannot be restored.

Only yearly/monthly CBH instances can be renewed.

If you renew your CBH instance before it expires, resources will be retained and you can continue using the instance.

Renewals do not apply to the pay-per-use mode.

How to Renew Subscriptions

Table 1 describes how to renew your yearly/monthly CBH.

You can renew your yearly/monthly CBH instance based on its status. For details, see Figure 1.

Figure 1 CBH lifecycle

• A CBH instance is in the Running state after it is provisioned.
• When a CBH subscription expires, its status will change from Running to Expired.
• If an expired CBH instance is not renewed, it enters a grace period. If it is not renewed by the time the grace period expires, the CBH instance will be frozen and enter a retention period.
• If you do not renew the subscription within the retention period, your resources will be automatically deleted.

You can enable auto-renewal anytime before your CBH instance expires. By default, 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 expired. You can change the auto-payment date for renewal as required.
