Manual renewing of a Subscription
- Do not renew manually Subscriptions with the Non-Refund billing type before they expire. This will lead to the Service provisioning failure.
- Do not renew manually Subscriptions in the Blocked status. This may cause incorrect behavior of the platform.
Manual renewing allows extending a Subscription for any available period with the current configuration.
Manual renewing of Subscriptions with the CSP monthly, CSP annual, Pay in full, and License-based (Monthly) Billing types also allows changing the Resource amount (see Delayed renewing of a Subscription).
