Prepaid Traffic Packages

Scenarios

If you choose traffic-based billing when enabling CDN and your site will generate a large volume of traffic, you are advised to buy traffic packages of appropriate specifications to save money.

Purchase

• Log in to the CDN console. In the navigation pane, choose Resource Packages, click Buy Package on the right, and buy traffic packages. For details about the prices of traffic packages, see Pricing Details.
• For details about how to view the purchased traffic packages, see Resource Package Management.

Billing Details

Specifications: 500 GB to 1 PB.

Validity period: one year.

Conversion rule: 1 GB = 1024 MB

Payment: one-off payment. Packages take effect immediately after purchase. Traffic packages cannot be unsubscribed from.

Deduction: Your traffic package is used first if you have one. Traffic consumed beyond the package will be billed on a pay-per-use basis. Traffic deducted from a package will not be counted during tiered pricing.

Billing item: traffic generated when users access CDN PoPs and traffic generated by whole site acceleration. The number of requests for whole site acceleration are billed separately.

Billing cycle: an hour. Traffic used in an hour will be deducted from a traffic package 4 hours later.

Usage scope: by region. Traffic packages in a region can be used to deduct fees of traffic generated in this region. For details about the regions, see Charging Regions.

Notes

1. Traffic packages can be used only when traffic-based billing is used.
2. All domain names in your account with the same service area as that of a traffic package share the traffic package.
3. If you purchase multiple traffic packages, the traffic quota increases but the validity period is not extended. The traffic package with the earliest expiration date is used first.

   Example: A customer purchases two Chinese mainland traffic packages.

   Traffic package 1: 500 GB normal traffic package, which is valid for six months, from June 6, 2021 to December 6, 2021.

   Traffic package 2: 200 TB normal traffic package, which is valid for one year, from July 6, 2021 to July 6, 2022.

   Fee deduction: Traffic package 1 is used first. After traffic package 1 is used up, traffic package 2 is used.

4. A traffic package will automatically expire when it reaches the end of its validity period, and any remaining traffic in the package can no longer be used. Traffic consumed beyond the package will be billed on a pay-per-use basis.
5. A package can be used only by the buyer account.
6. If you change traffic-based billing to another billing option, your purchased packages will be frozen until the billing option is changed back to the traffic-based billing.
