D is the answer. "By default, you can stop an Amazon RDS database instance for up to seven days at a time. After seven days, the instance restarts so that it doesn't miss any maintenance updates. To stop your instance for more than seven days, you can use Step Functions to automate the workflow without missing a maintenance window." https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/rds-stop-seven-days
