How Is a Monthly Package Billed?

Within the validity period of your purchased discount package, the system deducts the quota from the discount package first. You are billed for the amount exceeding the upper limit. Assume you purchase a 500 GB storage package for one month. If you use less than 500 GB of storage capacity within one month, you are not billed. If you use more than 500 GB of storage capacity, you are billed for the part beyond 500 GB on a pay-per-use basis.

Discount packages and clusters are created separately. The node specifications of the package correspond to those when you create a cluster. If the discount package you purchase has the same node specifications with those you select when you create a cluster, the specifications in the package are preferentially deducted.
