If auto-renewal is enabled for a subscription instance, the instance is automatically
renewed before it expires. This topic describes how to view the auto-renewal status
of an ECS instance.
Background information
After auto-renewal is enabled for an instance, the system renews the instance based
on the configured auto-renewal duration. This can prevent the instance from being
stopped or released to ensure your business availability. Before an instance expires,
you can enable or disable auto-renewal.
