* **Insufficient credits:** For containers that are billed for storage, when credits are exhausted, the container will be automatically inactivated.

* **Containers that remain inactive for more than 6 months will be deleted.** You will receive a deletion notification email one month and one week before deletion.
* **Please note that deleted containers cannot be recovered.** If you have important data, please log in to the Dashboard page and click the **\[Reactivate]** button to activate your container.
  {% endhint %}
