Billing account statuses

The status of your billing account depends on whether you have any arrears resulting from a failure to pay for resource usage.

List of statuses

A billing account can have one of the following statuses:

• NEW: a billing account is being created.
• PENDING: account confirmation required.
• PAYMENT_NOT_CONFIRMED: account confirmation required. An email with further instructions is sent to the email address specified in your Yandex or Yandex.Connect account.
• TRIAL_ACTIVE: the trial period has been activated and there is at least one unspent grant.
• TRIAL_SUSPENDED: the trial period has not been activated, since the initial grant was given to one of your previously created billing account.
• TRIAL_EXPIRED: the trial period has ended or all available grants have been spent.
• FIRST_PAYMENT_REQUIRED: account creation must be confirmed by topping up your personal account.
• ACTIVE: the paid version has been activated and there are no arrears for resource usage.
• PAYMENT_REQUIRED: the account has arrears for service usage.
• SUSPENDED: access to resources has been suspended.
