Renewal
Last updated: 2025-08-14 11:59:36
Monthly subscription instances will not run normally upon expiration. If you need to continue using them, you can renew them within the specified date. If you fail to renew in time, your TencentDB for MySQL instance resources will be automatically released, and your data will be deleted. This document introduces the description and operation related to instance renewal of TencentDB for MySQL.
Note:
Downtime and data deletion risks exist after the instance expires. Renew it promptly to avoid affecting your business.
If a terminated or returned yearly/monthly subscription instance is restored from the recycle bin, it cannot be terminated or returned again within 30 minutes. If you need to terminate or return the instance, perform the operation 30 minutes after it has been restored.
Prerequisites
Renewal instances should be monthly subscription instances. Pay-as-you-go instances currently do not involve expiration and renewal.
Renewal Method
You can renew instances either automatically or manually to ensure data integrity. For manual renewal, you need to periodically renew instances to extend their usage time. Automatic renewal saves you the trouble of periodic manual renewal, and helps avoid affecting the use of instances or causing business interruptions due to forgetting to renew them.
