Update on Expired Resource Renewal Mechanism on the Portal
To optimize resource management and provide additional time for expired resources to be retained on GreenNode—allowing Customers more time to complete renewal procedures—we are updating the renewal mechanism for expired resources on the Portal (extended from 7 days to 30 days). This change applies from the moment a resource reaches its expiration date within the usage cycle. Key updates to the renewal policy are as follows:
After expiration, resources will transition through the following stages:
Grace Period: From Day 1 to Day 15 after the expiration date. During this period, the service remains active and data is fully retained.
Suspension: From Day 15 to Day 30 after the expiration date. During this period, the service is suspended, but data is still retained in the system.
Release and Deletion: After 30 days from the expiration date. At this stage, the service is permanently terminated, and all associated data is irreversibly deleted from the system.
Throughout the Grace Period and Suspension stages (i.e., from Day 1 up to before Day 30 after expiration), resources can be manually renewed to continue using the service.
This renewal policy will take effect from January 8, 2026, and applies to prepaid wallet-based resources with expiration dates occurring after this time.
For more details about the updated renewal mechanism and policy, please refer here.
