You do not need to renew pay-as-you-go instances, but you must make sure that your account balance is sufficient. AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL instances can be manually or automatically renewed.

Precautions
- To prevent service interruptions caused when a subscription instance expires and is not renewed within the specified period of time, we recommend that you enable auto-renewal.
- If you manually renew a subscription instance before auto-renewal fees are automatically deducted, the instance is automatically renewed before expiration of the manual renewal duration.
- After you enable auto-renewal for an instance, the configuration takes effect the next day. If the instance expires the next day, you must manually renew it to prevent service interruptions.
- Expired subscription instances cannot have auto-renewal enabled on the Renewal page of the Billing Management console
- If you did not enable auto-renewal for a subscription instance, we recommend that you manually renew it before it expires. If the instance is not renewed in a timely manner, service interruptions or data loss may occur after the instance expires.
- If a subscription instance contains billable items that use the pay-as-you-go billing method, you must make sure that your account balance is sufficient.
