7 days before the service expires, the system will send an email notification about the automatic service renewal. During these 7 days, you will receive 1 notification email each day.
The system will automatically renew 3 days before the service expires:
If you have enough credits, all services will be renewed. When the renewal is successful or failed, we will send you an email containing information about the successful/failed renewal. The service renewal payment history will also be stored on the vConsole system. For more information, visit the vConsole Dashboard .
If there are not enough credits, the system will try to renew the services until there are no more credits.
