Resource plan (subscription)
A resource plan is a prepaid package. Purchase a plan of a specific size based on estimated usage. Valid for one year from purchase date. Billable usage is deducted from plan quota first. Unused quota expires after the validity period.
When multiple resource plans exist for the same service, the one expiring earliest is used first. If expiration dates match, one is randomly selected.
Two resource plan types are available:
-

-
Individual resource plan: Purchase a resource plan for computing power, storage, or traffic separately.
