Database Autonomy Service:Renewal management

Last Updated:Jun 27, 2023

Database Autonomy Service (DAS) Professional Edition can be manually or automatically renewed. This topic describes how to renew DAS Professional Edition.

Background information

DAS Professional Edition is billed on a subscription basis. If you enable DAS Professional Edition for database instances and use SQL Explorer, you are also charged for the storage of SQL Explorer data on a pay-as-you-go basis. The renewal of DAS Professional Edition refers to extending the subscription duration. You do not need to renew the storage for SQL Explorer data, but you must make sure that your Alibaba Cloud account has sufficient balance to prevent service interruptions.

If DAS Professional Edition expires and is not renewed, the system automatically suspends the service and deletes all related data, such as the SQL Explorer data and analytical data. For more information, see Billing rules of the previous version.
