Once an RDS for MySQL instance is moved to the recycle bin, you can rebuild, renew, or destroy it in the recycle bin.
Scenario Example
1.If a user has an RDS for MySQL instance in Package Cycle mode which is frozen due to expiration, the user can renew and unfreeze the instance in the recycle bin within seven days.
2.If a user unsubscribes an instance, the instance will be moved to the instance recycle bin.
3.If a user pauses an instance for more than seven days, the instance will be moved to the recycle bin.
Constraints and Restrictions
Manually unsubscribed Payment by Volume instances and Package Cycle instances or expired Package Cycle instances will be moved to the recycle bin. An instance is not moved to the recycle bin in the following situations:
a.The instance is manually unsubscribed within seven days after it is created.
b.The instance is a read-only instance or a database proxy instance.
Rebuilding an Instance
Instances that are moved to the recycle bin can be retained for seven days. You can restore instance backups to a new instance through the Rebuild Instance function. After seven days, the instance will no longer remain in the recycle bin (backup data is cleared according to configuration).
² Note
Backup data created by an instance with Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) enabled cannot be used to rebuild the instance.
The minor kernel version of the rebuilt instance database must be the same with the original instance, otherwise, the instance cannot be rebuilt (If you need to rebuild an instance, please upgrade the minor kernel version of the original instance to the latest version before unsubscribing).
