Expiration and overdue payment description for DTS-Data Transmission Service(DTS)-阿里云帮助中心

After a DTS instance expires or the Alibaba Cloud account has overdue payments, data transmission tasks stop running. If you do not complete the payment within 7 days, the system releases and deletes the instance.

Warning

After an instance expires or has overdue payments, the instance is at risk of being stopped. You will receive notifications. Renew or top up your account in a timely manner to avoid service interruptions.

Billing method	Impact of expiration or overdue payment
Subscription	After a subscription instance expires, data transmission tasks stop running and the instance is locked. If you do not successfully renew the instance within 7 days after it is locked, the system releases and deletes the instance. Released instances cannot be recovered. Note If a DTS dedicated cluster expires or has overdue payments, DTS instances in the dedicated cluster are locked. After 7 days, the instances are released and the dedicated cluster resources are also released.
Pay-as-you-go	All pay-as-you-go instances under the account with overdue payments enter a suspension-pending state. If the overdue amount is within the grace period quota, your services are not affected by service suspension. Note Alibaba Cloud provides the extended suspension-free benefit. When a pay-as-you-go resource is overdue, you can continue to use cloud services for a certain amount or duration. Normal fees apply during the extended period. For more information, see Extended Suspension-Free Benefit. If the overdue amount exceeds the grace period quota, pay-as-you-go instances are locked and services stop. If you do not successfully top up within 7 days after the instances are locked, the system releases and deletes the instances. Released instances cannot be recovered.

Recommendations

To avoid service interruptions, we recommend that you renew subscription instances before they expire. For more information, see Renew instances.
For pay-as-you-go instances, we recommend that you regularly check your balance and top up your account, to ensure that your account has sufficient funds.
