As a DMS administrator or database administrator (DBA), disable a database instance to block other users from querying or modifying it in Data Management (DMS). Disabled instances are removed from the left-side instance list on the homepage of the DMS console and cannot be searched for in the DMS console, but continue running in other Alibaba Cloud services. Re-enable an instance at any time to restore access.
Disabling an instance does not release its control mode quota. To release the quota, remove the instance entirely. See Remove one or more instances.

A database instance may be disabled because the purchased control mode or sensitive data protection feature expires.
