Resource Package Usage Rules

Updated on 2025-02-24 GMT+08:00

A resource package is a resource quota you buy in advance. If the resource package is used up or expires, you will be billed based on the resource's pay-per-use price. View the price details.

Resource Package Types and Usage

Resource packages are classified into resettable and non-resettable resource packages.

Type

Description

Resettable package

Its capacity decreases linearly. The capacity is cleared at the end of each reset period and restored at the beginning of the next reset period until the package expires.

For example, if a monthly resettable Cloud Container Instance (CCI) resource package (2,920 GB*hour/month) takes effect from July 01, 2019 00:00:00 to July 01, 2020 00:00:00, 2,920 GB*hour of memory can be deducted each month within the effective period.

Non-resettable package

Its capacity decreases linearly and is deducted continuously before it is used up.

If the total capacity of a non-resettable Image Tagging resource package is 10,000 times and the package is valid from July 01, 2019 00:00:00 to July 01, 2020 00:00:00, 10,000 times can be deducted within the validity period.

Scenarios

You can perform different operations on resource packages by their types.

  1. The resource package is used up in advance.
    • For a resettable resource package, no operation is required. This is because the capacity will be restored at the beginning of the next reset period before the package expires.

      Example:

      A 100-GB OBS resource package takes effect from June 28, 2024 to June 28, 2025. During the period, you will obtain 100-GB traffic for each month, and the overage traffic will be billed on a pay-per-use basis.

      NOTE:
      • After the package is used up in the current reset period, if you continue using the resource, the subsequent usage will be billed at the pay-per-use price. You can view the expenditures by choosing Bills > Bill Details after the settlement period.
      • If the resource package is always used up in advance, you are advised to upgrade the specifications of the resource package or purchase more resource packages. The specification upgrade cannot take effect until the next reset period, while the newly-purchased resource package will take effect immediately.

        Note: Currently, only some resettable resource packages support specification upgrade. For details, see the specific cloud service page.

    • For a non-resettable resource package, you can buy another resource package on the cloud service console or on the Resource Packages page of the Billing Center. The newly-purchased resource package takes effect immediately.

      Example:

      A 500-GB CDN resource package takes effect from May 13, 2024 to November 13, 2024. You will obtain 500-GB traffic in total during the period. Before the package is used up, buy the resource package again in case of usage interruption.

    NOTE:

    If auto-renewal is not enabled for a resource package and the package is used up before its expiration, the package expires immediately and cannot be renewed. You can only purchase the package again on the Resource Packages page of the Billing Center or on the cloud service console. If you need to continue using the resources, you are advised to enable auto-renewal for the resource package or manually renew the resource package before it is used up.

  2. The resource package is about to expire.

    Both resettable and non-resettable resource packages can be renewed to prolong the effective period.

    • After the resettable package is renewed, you can obtain the capacity of the same specifications in each reset period.

      Example:

      A 100-GB OBS resource package is renewed with the renewal period set to 1 year. You will obtain 100-GB traffic each month during the renewed period.

    • After the non-resettable resource package is renewed, the displayed capacity is the total in the new effective period.

      Example:

      A 500-GB CDN resource package is renewed with the renewal period set to 1 year. You will obtain 500-GB traffic in total during the renewed period.

NOTE:
  • The Renewals page does not display the expired resource packages or resource packages that have been used up and auto-renewal is not enabled any longer. To view and purchase resource packages, go to the Resource Packages page in the Billing Center.
  • If you choose to buy the resource package again, the new resource package takes effect immediately. If you choose to renew the resource package, the renewal takes effect only when the original resource package expires. For details, see How Do I Choose Between Renew and Buy Again?.
