How to upgrade an OSS resource plan - Object Storage Service

If you require an Object Storage Service (OSS) resource plan with higher specifications, you can upgrade your current plan.

Background information

Resource plans that can be directly upgraded
standard zone-redundant storage plan, standard locally redundant storage plan, IA locally redundant storage plan, Cold Archive locally redundant storage plan
Resource plans that cannot be directly upgraded but can be stacked to achieve an upgrade
outbound data transfer plan, transfer acceleration plan, Anti-DDoS Origin Basic plan
Note
Stacking plans means purchasing multiple resource plans of the same type for the same region.

To upgrade a resource plan, a Resource Access Management (RAM) user must be granted the AliyunBSSOrderAccess system permission. This permission is required to view, pay for, and cancel orders in the User Center (BSS). For more information, see Manage RAM user permissions.
Effective October 24, 2024, resource plan upgrades take effect in the following cycle. For hourly plans, the upgrade takes effect in the next hour. For daily plans, the upgrade takes effect at 00:00 on the next day. The supplemental upgrade fee is also calculated from the start of the next cycle. Plan your resource plan upgrades accordingly. If a pending upgrade order exists, you cannot renew, upgrade, or unsubscribe from the plan. Wait for the upgrade to take effect before you perform these operations.

Follow these steps to upgrade your OSS resource plan.

Log on to the OSS console.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Resource Usage > Resource Plan Management.
On the Resource Plan Management page, click Upgrade in the Actions column of the resource plan that you want to upgrade.
On the OSS Resource Plan Upgrade/Downgrade page, select the specifications for the upgraded plan, click Buy Now, and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the payment.
Note
When you upgrade a resource plan, you must select specifications that are higher than your current plan's specifications. You cannot upgrade to a plan with the same or lower specifications. Downgrades are not supported after an upgrade. For example, if your current resource plan is 100 GB, you can only upgrade to a plan that is larger than 100 GB. You cannot select a 100 GB plan or a smaller plan.
