A resource plan is a type of subscription billing method that offers higher discounts than the pay-as-you-go billing method. Compared with a storage plan, a resource plan does not need to be bound to a file system. You can purchase multiple resource plans to offset the storage usage fees of multiple file systems. This topic describes how to purchase, renew, and upgrade a resource plan. This topic also describes how to view the remaining storage capacity of a resource plan.
