Application Real-Time Monitoring Service:Manage overdue payments

Last Updated:Feb 13, 2025

This topic describes the consequences of overdue payments for Real User Monitoring (RUM).

How to determine an overdue payment status

An Alibaba Cloud account bill is considered overdue if the account balance is insufficient to cover the bill on the day it is issued.

Notification after overdue payment

Should a bill become overdue, ARMS will issue an overdue payment notification via email, text message, or internal message on the same day. Upon receiving this notification, you should promptly add funds to your Alibaba Cloud account to resolve the overdue payments.

Impact after overdue payment

Overdue payments result in RUM ceasing to collect data and monitor your application. However, your application remains intact, and your data is not deleted. RUM will resume data collection once the overdue payments are settled.

Prevent overdue payments
