Before a savings plan expires, you can renew it or enable auto-renewal to extend the duration of the savings plan for Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances.
Limits
You can renew general-purpose and ECS compute savings plans.
The renewal duration for a savings plan must be the same as the original duration of the savings plan. For example, if the duration of a savings plan is one year, you can renew the savings plan for only one year.
Procedure
This topic describes how to renew a savings plan or enable auto-renewal for the savings plan on the Renewal page in the Expenses and Costs console. You can also renew the savings plan on the Overview tab of the Savings Plan page in the Expenses and Costs console.

Renewing a savings plan only extends the usage time of the savings plan. If you want to increase the hourly commitment amount to obtain a higher discount, you can upgrade the savings plan. For more information, see Upgrade a savings plan.
