Additional Information

1. Minimum storage period: Both the low-frequency storage and archive storage types have a minimum storage period. If files are deleted, modified, or overridden earlier than the minimum storage period, the storage costs for the remaining days that do not meet the minimum storage period need to be made up.

2. Minimum file size: For low-frequency storage and archive storage types, a single file smaller than 64KB is calculated as a 64KB file in terms of storage space. Files larger than 64KB are calculated according to their actual size in terms of storage space.

3. Thawing archive storage type files：

• Thawing is performed using RESTORE operation, and a data thawing fee is charged. After thawing, no additional fee is charged for data retrieval, and only the normal outbound traffic fee is charged.

• After the thawing operation is completed, the data is retained for 3 days. No retrieval cost is charged for the retrieval of thawed data, and it cannot be downloaded after 3 days and needs to be thawed again.

• Thawing types: Please thaw in advance when accessing archive files. The first byte retrieval time for different thaw modes is as follows:

• High priority (Expedited): Completion within 15 minutes;

• Standard: Completion within 1~5 hours. If no thawing type is passed in, the default is Standard.

4. Cross-region replication: When using cross-region replication, outbound Internet traffic costs will be incurred, and the storage space in each region will be charged according to its own storage capacity and billing item prices. The global storage space feature has been deactivated (it is recommended to use the cross-region replication feature), and the original global storage space billing items and billing rules remain unchanged and continue to use the old pricing and old billing mode.

5. Explanation of data retrieval costs： For data of low-frequency storage type, retrieval cost = Download file size * Retrieval cost unit price + Outbound traffic cost, regardless of whether the download is over the Internet or the intranet, a retrieval cost will be charged; For data of archive storage type, the thawing cost = Thaw file size * Thaw cost unit price, when downloading thawed data, the outbound traffic cost is charged. The data retrieval cost is separate from the traffic cost. Normal charges will be applied if outbound Internet traffic costs are incurred during data retrieval, and no traffic costs are charged for intranet downloads; no additional thawing costs are charged during the thawing period.
