You can manually renew or enable auto-renewal for Database Autonomy Service (DAS) Enterprise Edition V1 to extend its service period.
Background information
DAS Enterprise Edition V1 for the public cloud uses a hybrid billing model that combines a subscription fee with pay-as-you-go storage fees. Renewal extends the subscription period of DAS Enterprise Edition. Storage costs for SQL Explorer data are billed on a pay-as-you-go basis and do not require renewal. You need only to ensure that your Alibaba Cloud account has a sufficient balance.
If your subscription for DASEnterprise Edition V1 expires and is not renewed in time, the system automatically disables DASEnterprise Edition and deletes all related data, including SQL Explorer data and analysis data. For more information, see Billing Details.

Auto-renewal
Precautions
Auto-renewal payments are deducted nine days before the service expires. Ensure that your Alibaba Cloud account has a sufficient balance.
If you manually renew the service before the auto-renewal payment date, the system performs the next auto-renewal before the new expiration date.
The auto-renewal feature takes effect the next day. If your instance is due to expire the next day, renew it manually to avoid service interruptions. For instructions, see Manual renewal.
Enable auto-renewal
Enable auto-renewal when you purchase a DAS Enterprise Edition instance.
On the purchase page for DAS Enterprise Edition, select the Auto-renewal checkbox.
NoteIf you enable auto-renewal when you purchase DAS Enterprise Edition, the auto-renewal duration matches the purchase duration. For example, if you purchase DAS Enterprise Edition for 6 months with auto-renewal enabled, the service automatically renews for another 6 months when the subscription is about to expire.
Enable auto-renewal after purchasing a DAS Enterprise Edition instance.
NoteAfter you enable auto-renewal, the system automatically renews the service based on the renewal cycle that you select. For example, if you select a three-month renewal cycle, you are charged for a three-month subscription at each renewal.
