[Alibaba Cloud] [Notice on the update of the impacts of overdue payments on automatic snapshot policies]
Update time: 10:00, May 7, 2024
Update content: The impacts of overdue payments on automatic snapshot policies are updated.
If the fees for a pay-as-you-go instance fail to be deducted on the payment due date (day T), the payment for the instance becomes overdue. The instance can be normally used within 15 days after the payment becomes overdue. After 15 days, the instance is stopped.
-Originally, the automatic snapshot policies that you create for the instance are deleted after the instance is stopped for more than 15 days.
-After the update, the automatic snapshot policies that you create for the instance are retained after the instance is stopped for more than 15 days. After the overdue bills are paid, the automatic snapshot policies are automatically enabled.

Update impact:
After the overdue bills are paid, snapshots are automatically created for the disks that are associated with the automatic snapshot policies and fees are generated. If you do not want to create snapshots for the disks, disassociate the disks from the automatic snapshot policies or delete the automatic snapshot policies.
