Resource Package Overview

Resource packages are prepaid resources that you can purchase to save money. A resource package takes effect immediately once it is purchased. It cannot be used upon expiration and cannot be extended. A resource package is suspended when it is used up. Purchase a new resource package if you want to continue using it.

Shared Data Package

Shared data package provides a quota for data usage. Such packages are cost-effective and easy to use. Shared data packages take effect immediately after your purchase. If you have subscribed to pay-per-use EIPs billed by traffic in a region and buy a shared data package in the same region, the EIPs will use the shared data package. After the package quota is used up or the package expires, the EIPs will continue to be billed on a pay-per-use basis. For billing details, see Product Pricing Details.

Two types of packages are available: dynamic BGP and static BGP. Dynamic BGP data packages will be used by pay-per-use EIPs (billed by traffic) of the dynamic BGP type, and static BGP data packages will be used by pay-per-use EIPs (billed by traffic) of the static BGP type.
Shared data packages can be purchased yearly or monthly. Yearly packages are more cost effective. If you have multiple shared data packages, the one that expires first will be used first.
If your usage exceeds your shared data package quota within its validity, you will be billed on a pay-per-use basis for the additional traffic usage.
If a shared data package expires, make sure your account balance is sufficient and your EIP will be billed on a pay-per-use basis.
