• For trial accounts, the trial period ended. To reactivate your account, log in and upgrade it to a pay as you go account. It might take a few days to fully reactivate.
• An authorized user canceled the account
• The account is suspended. At the discretion of IBM, accounts that violate the acceptable usage behaviors of the IBM Cloud services can be disabled without notice. Some services can be restored if users correct their usage behaviors after they're notified of the offensive action.

If you believe that your account was deactivated in error, speak with our support team.

A Lite plan might be offered on a monthly cycle that is renewed each month or on a one-off usage basis. You can have one instance per Lite plan service. Lite pricing plans are offered in all accounts. For more information about Lite accounts, see Account types.
