If you enable auto-renewal for your bastion host, the system automatically deducts fees from your account balance nine days before the bastion host expires. If you no longer require auto-renewal for the bastion host after the current billing cycle, you can disable auto-renewal for the bastion host before the system deducts the fees for the next billing cycle.

Background information

When you disable auto-renewal for a bastion host, you can also specify whether to set nonrenewal for the bastion host.
  • If you do not set nonrenewal for the bastion host, you must manually renew the bastion host.
  • If you set nonrenewal for the bastion host, the bastion host is stopped when it expires, and you are notified of the expiration only once. You can modify the renewal settings before the bastion host is stopped or manually renew the bastion host before it expires.
