This topic describes how to manage an ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ Enterprise Platinum Edition instance, including how to create an instance, upgrade or downgrade instance configurations, renew an instance, and unsubscribe from an instance.
Create an Enterprise Platinum Edition instance
You can create an ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ Enterprise Platinum Edition instance in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console by performing the following operations:
Log on to the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Instances. In the top navigation bar of the page that appears, select a region.
On the Instances page, click Create Instance and follow the on-screen instructions to purchase an instance.
Instance Version: Select V4.0.
Instance Type: Select Enterprise Platinum Edition.
Product Type: Use the default value Subscription.
Upgrade or downgrade instance configurations
You can upgrade or downgrade the configurations of an existing Enterprise Platinum Edition instance based on your business requirements.
Impacts
During the upgrade or downgrade, transient connections may occur in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console and each service node of the cluster. In most cases, transient connections do not affect business because the automatic reconnection mechanism is triggered on clients. However, exception logs are generated and message delay can occur.
Messages may be duplicated. We recommend that you perform message idempotence in advance. For more information, see Message idempotence.
During the upgrade or downgrade, do not manage resources in the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. For example, do not create or delete topics.
If you access the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ instance over HTTP, transient connections may occur or connection requests may be rejected. The issue lasts for less than 1 minute. Make sure that the reconnection mechanism is configured on clients.
We recommend that you use CloudMonitor to monitor important business. This way, you can obtain the status and metrics of your instance at the earliest opportunity during the upgrade or downgrade. For more information, see Configure the monitoring and alerting feature for risk warning.

Operations
Log on to the ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Instances. In the top navigation bar of the page that appears, select the region where your instance resides.
On the Instances page, click the name of the instance that you want to manage. In the upper-right corner of the Instance Details page, click Upgrade or Downgrade.
Renew an instance
You can renew only ApsaraMQ for RocketMQ Enterprise Platinum Edition instances. You can select auto-renewal or manual renewal based on your business requirements.
Auto-renewal
If you want to use a service for a long time, you can enable the auto-renewal feature. After the auto-renewal feature is enabled, the system renews your resources before the resources expire to ensure that the resources and data are not deleted.
Auto-renewal rules
Auto-renewal is triggered nine days before an instance expires. If the first auto-renewal attempt fails, auto-renewal is triggered once a day until it succeeds or until one day before the instance expires.
The auto-renewal process starts at 08:00 (UTC+8) every day. However, an instance may be renewed after 08:00 because instances are automatically renewed in sequence. In most cases, an instance is renewed no later than 18:00 on the same day when auto-renewal starts.
Expiration time: If an instance expires at 00:00 on December 11, the day before the expiration date starts at 00:00 on December 10. The sixth day after the expiration date starts at 00:00 on December 17.
Auto-renewal is not triggered immediately after you enable the feature. Auto-renewal is triggered only at the fixed points in time that are described in the preceding items.
You must enable the auto-renewal feature before an instance expires. If you enable the auto-renewal feature after the instance expires, auto-renewal cannot be triggered.
If you enable the auto-renewal feature after 08:00 on the day before the expiration date, auto-renewal may not take effect. If you want to use the auto-renewal feature, we recommend that you enable the feature at your earliest opportunity.
