You can either manually or automatically renew Database Autonomy Service (DAS) Enterprise Edition V1 to extend the subscription. This topic describes how to renew the service.
Background information
DAS Enterprise Edition V1 for the public cloud uses a combined billing method that includes a subscription fee and a pay-as-you-go fee for storage. Renewal extends the subscription period of DAS Enterprise Edition. The storage for SQL Explorer data is pay-as-you-go and does not require renewal. Simply ensure that your Alibaba Cloud account has a sufficient balance.
If DAS Enterprise Edition V1 expires and is not renewed, the system automatically shuts down DAS Enterprise Edition and purges all related data, such as SQL Explorer data and analytical data. For more information, see Billing Details.

NoteIf you enable auto-renewal when you purchase DAS Enterprise Edition, the auto-renewal duration is the same as the initial subscription duration.
