Sets the auto renewal attribute of an instance. 

Description

  • Fee deduction for auto renewal starts at 08:00:00 (UTC +08:00) on the ninth day before the expiry date.

  • If fee deduction fails, it attempts to charge the fees at 08:00:00 (UTC +08:00) every day before the expiry date. If the payment attempts keep failing until the expiry date, the instance is released and gets out-of-service. You must make sure that you have not set any credit limit on your credit card.
