In the event of overdue payments or service expiration, you cannot access the purchased Lingjun compute nodes by using Lingjun connection instances, and the Lingjun compute nodes cannot access resources in the relevant virtual private cloud (VPC) by using Lingjun connection instances.
If you do not renew an Alibaba Cloud service after it expires or you miss a payment due date for the first time, Alibaba Cloud suspends all or part of your operation permissions of the service upon the expiration or occurrence of the overdue payments. Alibaba Cloud retains your service instances and data for 15 days from the time of permission suspension to the same time on the 15th day after that. At the same time, you are still charged for the part of service that is not suspended.
If you do not renew the service within the 15 days, Alibaba Cloud releases your instances and delete all instance data. The released instances and data cannot be recovered.
