Subscription is a prepaid billing method. You can reserve resources in advance to obtain greater discounts and reduce costs.
Subscription instance pricing
Monthly pricing
C represents vCPU and G represents memory. For example, a compute-optimized 4C8G instance has 4 vCPU cores and 8 GB of memory.
For more information about specifications for different instance types, such as network bandwidth (Gbps) and the packet forwarding rate in packets per second (pps), see Instance types and metrics.

Annual pricing
The annual price is the monthly price for 12 months with a 15% discount. The formula is: Annual price = Monthly price × 12 × 0.85.
Expiration and renewal
Expiration policy
If you do not renew your subscription resources before they expire, the resources are affected as follows:
Resource type | Within 15 days after expiration | More than 15 days after expiration | More than 30 days after expiration |
Computing resources (vCPUs and memory) | ENS retains the computing resources (vCPUs and memory). The instance runs normally. | ENS retains the computing resources (vCPUs and memory), but you cannot start the instance. | ENS releases your computing resources (vCPUs and memory). Your service data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. |

Renewal policy
You can renew a trial or purchased subscription instance at any time before it expires to continue using the service.
Subscription instances support both manual renewal and auto-renewal. If you enable auto-renewal, the renewal period defaults to the initial purchase duration. For example, if you purchase an instance for one month, it is automatically renewed for one-month periods.
For more information about the renewal process, see Renewal Guide.
