Auto-renewing an ECS
Auto-renewal can prevent ECSs 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 ECS expires and the billing cycle.
- The auto-renewal period of an ECS varies depending on how you enable auto-renewal.
- You can enable auto-renewal any time before an ECS 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 expires.
- After auto-renewal is enabled, you can still renew the ECS 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.
