Object Storage Service:When do inventories take effect?

Last Updated:Mar 20, 2026

After you configure an inventory for a bucket for the first time, Object Storage Service (OSS) starts the inventory within 30 minutes.

OSS then exports inventory lists at the frequency you specify.

Choose between two export frequencies:

  • Daily: OSS exports an inventory list for the bucket every day.

  • Weekly: OSS exports an inventory list once per week, on the same day of the week as the initial configuration. For example, if you configure the inventory on a Thursday, OSS exports the inventory list every Thursday.

Export speed is independent of export frequency. Select a frequency based on your business scenario.
