How Do I Use a Resource Package?

A resource package is similar to a mobile phone traffic package. A one-month resource package contains 744 hours' validity period. A resource package can be used by multiple protection instances. For example, if you purchase a one-month resource package and create two protected instances, the resource package can provide 372 hours' validity period for each protected instance.
After you purchase a resource package, the system will deduct the total usage duration of the protected instances from the resource package by default based on the number of protected instances and the usage duration of the protected instances. When the validity period in the resource package is used up, the system will bill the used resources in pay-per-use mode.
The validity period of a yearly resource package is reset by month. If the usage duration of the protected instances in one month is shorter than the validity period of the resource package, the unused duration will expire in next month. If you exceed the usage duration included in the package, you will be billed on a pay-per-use basis for the excess usage duration. After a month ends, the resource package resets.
You are recommended to purchase resource packages based on the number of protected instances.
