Overdue payments
Alibaba Cloud DNS provides a grace period that allows you to continue using services for a specific time or within a certain credit limit after a payment on your account becomes overdue. Your existing pay-as-you-go services, purchased resource plans, and subscription resources continue to function normally during this period. We suspend services only if you exceed the grace period.
