Impact of expiration or overdue payment

Subscription

When a subscription project expires, the project will be suspended and all operations controlled by this project will be disabled.
If you do not renew the project within seven days after the suspension, the system will release and delete the project on the eighth day. A released project cannot be recovered.

Pay-as-you-go

When your account gets into arrears, all its pay-as-you-go projects will enter a grace period.

The projects will not be affected if your quota is not used up.
Note
Alibaba Cloud allows you to use a certain quota (measured in quantity or time) of cloud services after your pay-as-you-go resources become overdue. The billing continues during this period. The quota is not the upper limit on arrears, and is calculated and updated every month based on factors such as your consumption records in Alibaba Cloud.
When the quota is used up, the projects will be frozen.

If you do not top up your account within seven days after the freezing, the system will release and delete the projects on the eighth day. A released project cannot be recovered.

Suggestions

To avoid affecting your business, we recommend that you renew a subscription project before it expires. For more information, see Renewal.
For pay-as-you-go projects, we recommend that you periodically check the balance in your account and top up the account in time.
