Resource Packs

The US3 object storage service defaults to a pay-as-you-go billing model based on usage. Resource packs are a type of prepaid discount deduction package launched by US3. For some billing items, they are more cost-effective than pay-as-you-go and can be purchased according to actual needs. After purchasing a specified resource pack, US3 will deduct the quota of the resource pack based on your actual usage. When the resource pack expires or is exhausted, it will automatically switch to pay-as-you-go based on usage. Currently, resource packs are only supported in domestic regions (North China 2, North China 1, Guangzhou, Shanghai 2).

Explanation of some parameters in the resource package list:

1. Total Amount: The total amount of the resource pack in one cycle, i.e., the resource pack specification. For example, if you purchase a 10GB standard storage pack, the total amount is the daily total of the 10GB standard storage pack.
2. Remaining Amount: For standard storage packs, the daily deduction amount resets, and the remaining amount cannot be viewed. For external network outgoing traffic packs, only the remaining deduction amount in the current cycle can be viewed. The remaining amount statistics are not real-time data and have a one-day delay.
3. Effective Time: Takes effect immediately after the resource pack is successfully purchased.
4. Expiration Time: Each month is fixed at 31 days, calculated based on the effective time and the purchase duration of the resource pack. For example, if you purchase a 1-month standard storage pack on January 10th, the expiration time is 23:59:59 on February 9th.
