# Billing account statuses

The status of your billing account depends on whether you have any arrears of payment for resources consumed.

## List of statuses {#list}

A billing account can have one of the following statuses: 
- `NEW`: 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 360 account.
- `PAY_OR_BIND`: Billing account has been created but has no associated credit/debit card.
- `TRIAL_ACTIVE`: [Trial period](trial-period.md) is active, and there is at least one unspent grant.
- `TRIAL_SUSPENDED`: Access to resources under the trial period has been suspended (e.g., due to a violation of antifraud requirements). 
- `TRIAL_EXPIRED`: Trial period has ended or all available grants have been spent.
- `FIRST_PAYMENT_REQUIRED`: You need to confirm the account creation by topping up your personal account.
- `ACTIVE`: Paid version has been activated and there are no arrears of payment for resources consumed. 
- `PAYMENT_REQUIRED`: Account is in arrears of payment for the services consumed.
- `SUSPENDED`: Access to resources has been suspended.
- `PENDING_INACTIVATION`: Account deletion has been initiated.

If your account has been suspended for a long time and the cloud status is `PENDING_DELETION`, make sure to manually [cancel](../../resource-manager/operations/cloud/delete-cancel.md) its deletion after the suspension is over.

## Description of statuses {#descr}

Statuses are described in the table below. 

Status | Balance                                    | Description
----- |-------------------------------------------| ----- 
`NEW` | None | Account is being created.
`PENDING` | None | Use of Yandex Cloud services is not allowed.<br/>The status persists until the account is validated by a Yandex Cloud manager.
`PAYMENT_NOT_CONFIRMED` | None | Use of Yandex Cloud services is not allowed. <br/>The status persists until the account is validated by a Yandex Cloud manager.
`PAY_OR_BIND` | None | Use of Yandex Cloud services is allowed but limited: you can only use free resources and create clouds. <br/>To use other services, [add](../operations/pin-card.md) a credit/debit card to your account or manually [top up](../operations/pay-the-bill.md) your balance. <br/>The status persists until you add a credit/debit card.
`TRIAL_ACTIVE` | None (the initial grant has been provided) | Use of Yandex Cloud services is allowed but limited. <br/>The status persists until the trial period ends, the initial grant is spent, or the paid version is activated. 
`TRIAL_SUSPENDED` | None | Use of Yandex Cloud services is not allowed. <br/>As part of the trial period, the initial grant can only be issued to one billing account, so you cannot use the trial period when re-registering. <br/>The status persists until you activate the paid version.
`TRIAL_EXPIRED` | None | Use of Yandex Cloud services is not allowed. <br/>The trial period has ended and you have not upgraded to the paid version. <br/>You can upgrade to the paid version of Yandex Cloud at any time during the trial period or 60 days after it expires, without losing any data.
`FIRST_PAYMENT_REQUIRED` | None | Use of Yandex Cloud services is not allowed. <br/>Most likely, you had previously created a billing account for which a trial period was activated. <br/>The status persists until you top up your personal account.
`ACTIVE` | Positive | All Yandex Cloud services are available for use. <br/>This status persists until your account runs into arrears.
`PAYMENT_REQUIRED` | Negative | Account is in arrears of payment for the services consumed. <br/><br/>Use of Yandex Cloud services may be suspended if the arrears are not paid in due time. During the suspension period, a fee is charged for data storage services, in addition to a late payment fee.
`SUSPENDED` | Negative | Use of Yandex Cloud services is suspended.<br/><br/>The maximum data storage period after the suspension is 60 calendar days.<br/><br/>Within 60 calendar days of suspending access, the system checks whether a payment is made: <br/> - If you pay the entire outstanding amount, your access to resources will be restored within 24 hours. <br/> - If you do not pay the entire outstanding amount, all your data, including your billing account, will be permanently blocked and deleted.<br/><br/>You cannot recover deleted clouds if they are linked to a blocked account.
`PENDING_INACTIVATION` | Any value | Request to delete the billing account was submitted.<br/><br/> We are verifying if the account can be deleted. For reasons why an account cannot be deleted, see [Deleting a billing account](../operations/delete-account.md).

  {% note warning %}
  
  You can still be charged for using some services even if the billing account status is `SUSPENDED`. Such resources may include snapshots and disks of stopped instances and unused public IP addresses. To check the debited amounts, open [**Usage details** in Yandex Cloud Billing](../operations/check-charges.md) and select **Consumption** detail mode.
