Renew an Instance

Extend an active instance or restore an expired instance.

Requirements

Active and expired non-subscription instances can be renewed. The instance must not have an unfinished upgrade, expansion, or renewal order, and renewal pricing must exist for its original billing cycle.

Steps

Open the renewal dialog

Open the instance details and select Renew.

Review the renewal details

Check the plan, original billing cycle, current expiry, and base charge.

Choose whether to renew expansions

Include or exclude expansion renewal as needed, and review the expansion details.

Confirm and pay

Review the total, select Renew now, and complete payment.

Active instances

Renewal keeps the original billing cycle and extends from the current expiry. Valid expansions are included by default and can be excluded before payment.

Expired instances

Service restarts after payment. Expired expansions cannot be renewed directly; the page can repurchase the same specifications and quantities used before expiry.

If the base plan capacity would be lower than the number of origin ports currently in use, keep enough expansion capacity or remove unused origin ports before renewing.

Track the order under Orders. Renewal is active when the order reaches Completed.
