Terminated instances will be put into the recycle bin and can be restored.

Background

Tencent Cloud recycle bin offers a mechanism for repossessing cloud resources. If your account balance is sufficient, you can restore terminated instances that are still in the recycle bin.

Version Requirement

Currently, all TencentDB for SQL Server versions support instance repossession.

Notes

• For pay-as-you-go instances in the recycle bin:
• Retention period: If your account has no overdue payments, terminated instances will be retained in the recycle bin for 24 hours.
• Expiration processing: Instances that are not renewed before the retention period of 24 hours ends will be released and cannot be restored.

Prerequisites

• The TencentDB for SQL Server instance has been terminated.
• Your Tencent Cloud account balance is sufficient.
