It then lapses exactly like an unpaid renewal — a server is powered off and kept for the usual grace window (7 days, deleted the day after), an additional IP stops working and is kept for 48 hours — and comes back the moment you renew it yourself (`POST /vps/:id/renew`, `POST /vps-additional-ips/:id/renew`). It stays set across renewals until you turn it off. Meant for resellers who renew per end customer: unlike cancelling, which removes the server as soon as the paid period ends, this keeps the grace window and costs nothing until you decide. Only for subscriptions Storiza bills itself. One run by a provider's own schedule (`supportsManagement: true`, e.g. Polar or Whop) is charged on their side and returns `SUBSCRIPTION_EXTERNALLY_BILLED`; manage it with `GET /payments/subscriptions/:id/manage`. **Required API key permission:** `billing:write` ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json patch /payments/subscriptions/{id}/auto-renew openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Storiza API version: '1.0' description: Manage Storiza servers, apps and subscriptions programmatically. servers: - url: https://api.storiza.store security: - bearerAuth: [] tags: - name: Servers description: Create, order, renew and upgrade VPS servers, and read their details. - name: Server power & commands description: >- Start, stop, reboot and force-stop a server, check its status and run commands on it. - name: Server settings description: >- Rename a server, reinstall its operating system and follow its installation. - name: Server firewall description: Turn a server's firewall on or off and manage its rules. - name: Server metrics description: CPU, memory, disk and network usage, now and over time. - name: Server backups description: Order the backup add-on, and take, list and delete backups. - name: Server additional IPs description: >- Buy extra public IPs for a server, move them between servers, and renew them. - name: Server snapshots description: Take, list and delete snapshots of a server. - name: Server sharing description: A share link that lets someone else open the server. - name: Server catalog description: >- Plans, operating systems, categories, datacenters and backup plans.
