Renewal
If a purchased instance has expired or is about to expire, you can renew it. This topic describes how to renew an instance using Renewal Management.
After an instance expires, you must renew it within 14 days to ensure uninterrupted service. During this period, the system pauses all tasks but retains your data and resources. If you do not renew the instance within 14 days, the system deletes all tasks and releases the resources. For more information, see Expiration reminders and service suspension policy.
You cannot modify the current configuration during renewal.
