This topic describes how expiration and overdue payments affect your instances.
Warning When an instance expires or has overdue payments, the system sends notifications. To prevent service suspension, we recommend that you renew the instance or add funds to your Alibaba Cloud account at the earliest opportunity.
The operations and impacts of ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances that expire or have overdue payments vary based on the instance architecture and the billing method, as described in the following sections.
ESSDs
Architecture | Billing method | Instance status | Operation and impact |
Replica set instance Sharded cluster instance | Subscription | For the first 15 days after a subscription instance expires, the instance is locked and cannot be accessed. | Click Renew to renew the instance. After you renew the instance, the instance enters the Running state. Click Destroy to release the computing resources and data of the instance. This operation is irreversible. To destroy the instance, change the backup retention policy to Delete all backup sets when you release the instance.
|
On the 16th day after the instance expires, ApsaraDB for MongoDB releases the computing resources of the instance but retains the instance data based on the backup retention policy that you configure. If the backup retention policy is Delete all backup sets when you release the instance, the recycle bin displays the backup set used in the most recent backup for the first 7 days after the instance is released. You can migrate the data to a new instance before the backup set is released. If the backup retention policy is Automatically back up data when you release the instance and retain the backup set for the instance for a long period of time, the backup set is retained for a long time, and the backup set used in the most recent backup is displayed in the recycle bin. You can migrate the data to a new instance. If the backup retention policy is Automatically back up data when you release the instance and retain all backup sets for the instance for a long time, all backup sets are retained for a long period of time and displayed in the recycle bin. You can migrate the data to a new instance.
| Click Rebuild to create an instance and restore the data of the original instance to the new instance. The time required for the restoration varies based on the performance and data volume of the instance. Click Destroy to release the computing resources and data of the instance. This operation is irreversible. To destroy the instance, change the backup retention policy to Delete all backup sets when you release the instance.
|
If the policy specifies that instance data does not need to be retained, the data is not retained. | The instance is permanently deleted, and the instance data cannot be restored. |
Pay-as-you-go | For the first 15 days after the instance becomes overdue, the instance is displayed as Disabled in the instance list and Locked in the recycle bin. In this case, you cannot read data from or write data to the instance. | Add funds to your Alibaba Cloud account to restore the instance to the running state. Click Destroy to release the computing resources and data of the instance. This operation is irreversible. To destroy the instance, change the backup retention policy to Delete all backup sets when you release the instance.
