You can use [Amazon User Notifications](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/notifications/latest/userguide/what-is-service.html) to configure notifications to inform you when your support plan's promotional period is ending. You can subscribe to receive notifications by email, in the Amazon Console Mobile Application, or in other chat channels of your choice.
