Purchase of Additional Resource Packages
If your resource package is about to expire, or a larger package quota is required, you can buy additional packages. Currently, OBS does not support the direct capacity expansion of your existing resource package.
Purchase Description
After purchasing a resource package, you can still purchase any other packages except the ones with special discounts. OBS offers the 40 GB storage package and 50 GB outbound Internet traffic package with special discounts. An account can have only one of each kind, and cannot purchase again until such packages are used up or expire. Resource packages of other specifications do not have purchase restrictions.
After a new resource package is purchased, the old package is preferentially used. If there is already pay-per-use usage before you purchase a new package, the usage will not be offset after you purchase the package. To avoid this, you are advised to purchase a new resource package before the old one expires or is used up.

A user had 2.8 TB data stored in a Standard single-AZ bucket. On March 18, 2022, the user purchased a 2 TB Standard single-AZ package (package A), and then purchased another 1 TB Standard single-AZ package (package B) on March 25, 2022. From March 18 to April 18, 2022, 2 TB of package A was used, and 0.8 TB of package B was used. On April 18, 2022, package A expired, and the user did not renew it. After that, from April 18 to April 25, 2022, 1 TB of package B was used, and the rest 1.8 TB data was billed on a pay-per-use basis.
