Shared Data Packages

A shared data package provides a quota for data usage. Such packages are cost-effective and easy to use. Shared data packages are applied immediately after 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 if the package expires, the EIPs will continue to be billed on a pay-per-use basis.

A shared data package is used for all pay-per-use EIPs billed by traffic, but it cannot be used for shared bandwidths.

• 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. Packages purchased for a year are more cost effective. If you have multiple shared data packages, the data package with the shortest validity period 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.
