To continue to benefit from cost reduction offered by resource plans, we recommend that you renew resource plans that are about to expire. If you do not renew the resource plans upon expiration, you are charged based on the pay-as-you-go billing method. You can also purchase the resource plans after they expire to continue reducing costs.
Prerequisites
A resource plan is not 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.
