Auto-renewal
Enable auto-renewal for your ApsaraDB for SelectDB subscription instance to prevent downtime from forgotten renewals.
Auto-renewal rules
The system first attempts an auto-renewal payment nine days before the ApsaraDB for SelectDB instance expires. If a payment fails, the system retries daily. If payment is not successful by the expiration date, the instance expires. After an instance expires, renew it manually immediately to prevent downtime and potential data loss.
The auto-renewal feature takes effect the next day. If your instance is due to expire the next day, renew it manually to avoid downtime.
If you manually renew an instance before the auto-renewal payment is processed, the system recalculates the next auto-renewal date based on the new expiration date. For more information about the calculation method, see Renewal FAQ.
If you manually renew the instance before an auto-renewal payment, the system attempts the next auto-renewal before the new expiration date.
Ensure you have a sufficient account balance, credit limit, or available vouchers.
You can use a coupon for auto-renewal.
