TencentDB for PostgreSQL instances have various statuses, and the available operations differ depending on the status. This article primarily focuses on the instance lifecycle and its related aspects.
TencentDB for PostgreSQL instances have the following status:
In the Creating status, the instance is in its initial state. Once the creation is complete, the instance can be used normally.
The Running and Task Executing statuses indicate that the instance is operating normally. The Task Executing status signifies that the instance is currently performing some operations, such as configuration changes.
When a monthly subscribed instance expires, a pay-as-you-go instance user has an outstanding balance, or a user actively terminates an instance, the instance will enter the isolation state and its status will change to Isolated. At this point, the instance can be viewed in the recycle bin.
In the recycle bin, you can perform a Restore operation on the instance. After restoration, the instance will return to the Running status.
Monthly subscribed instances in the recycle bin will be retained for 7 days, while pay-as-you-go instances will be retained for 3 days. After the retention period, the instances will be automatically taken offline. Once offline, the instances will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered, nor can they be viewed from the console.
