Object Storage Service:Renew resource plans to continue reducing costs

Last Updated:Mar 19, 2026

Renew your resource plans before they expire to keep OSS usage offset at discounted rates. Once a plan expires, usage shifts to pay-as-you-go billing. If your plan has already expired, purchase a new one to resume discounted billing.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

  • A resource plan that has not yet expired

  • You can renew the following types of resource plans: Standard (ZRS) storage plans, Standard (LRS) storage plans, IA (LRS) storage plans, Cold Archive (LRS) storage plans, outbound traffic plans, and the DDoS protection basic plan.

  • One of the following plan types (only these support renewal):

    • Standard ZRS plans

    • Standard LRS plans

    • IA LRS plans

    • Cold Archive LRS plans

    • Outbound data transfer plans

    • Anti-DDoS Origin Basic plans

Constraints

  • RAM user access: To renew a resource plan using a Resource Access Management (RAM) user, grant the RAM user the AliyunBSSOrderAccess permission. This permission allows the RAM user to view, pay for, and cancel orders in the User Center (BSS). For more information, see Manage RAM user permissions.

  • Post-upgrade wait: After upgrading a resource plan, wait one hour before renewing it.
