Subscription instances have an expiration date. If you do not renew before expiration, your service may be interrupted and you could lose data. Renew your instance promptly.
For details about what happens after a subscription instance expires, see Effects of overdue payment or expiration.
Pay-as-you-go and Serverless instances do not expire and do not require renewal. Keep sufficient funds in your account. The system automatically deducts fees as needed.
You can manually renew a subscription instance before it expires or within 15 days after expiration to extend its usage period.
Important notes
After an expired instance is locked, it usually returns to Normal status automatically within 5 minutes after manual renewal.
