# Auto-renewal

> Enable or disable automatic renewal for supported KmerHosting services.

Auto-renewal controls whether a supported service should attempt renewal at its renewal boundary.

## Before enabling

* Confirm the account credit or payment method can cover the expected renewal.
* Review the renewal price and currency.
* Confirm the service should remain active beyond the current term.
* Keep expiry notifications enabled.

## Before disabling

Understand the suspension, expiration, deletion, and recovery policy for the service. Disabling auto-renewal does not necessarily cancel the service immediately; it changes the next renewal behavior.

## API and CLI

Authorized developer keys can update auto-renewal through the Developer API, SDK, or CLI for supported service types.
