      • The restoration takes about one minute. Then, the object is in the restored state.
      • By default, the object remains in the restored state for one day. You can use ossutil or SDKs to prolong this period to a maximum of seven days. When this period expires, the object returns to the frozen state. For more information, see restore and Restore objects.

      You must configure the following parameters when you restore a Cold Archive object:

        • Expedited: The object is restored within one hour.
        • Standard: The object is restored within two to five hours.
