Example
A user purchased the following resource plans in March 2022: a Standard (LRS) storage plan for all regions that has a capacity of 500 GB, and an outbound traffic plan for the Chinese mainland that has a capacity of 100 GB. The resource usage of the user in March 2022 includes the following items:
300 GB of Standard locally redundant storage (LRS) objects, 110 GB of outbound traffic over the Internet, and 100,000 API requests in the China (Hangzhou) region.
100 GB of Standard LRS objects and 200 GB of Standard zone-redundant storage (ZRS) objects in the China (Shanghai) region.
The following table describes how the resource plans offset the monthly resource usage.
Region | Offset by resource plans | Pay-as-you-go |
China (Hangzhou) | 300 GB of capacity in the Standard (LRS) storage plan offsets the storage fee for 300 GB of Standard LRS objects. | Fee for 100,000 API requests |
100 GB of capacity in the outbound traffic plan offsets the fee for 100 GB of outbound traffic over the Internet. | Traffic fee for the remaining 10 GB of outbound traffic over the Internet | |
China (Shanghai) | 100 GB of capacity in the Standard (LRS) storage plan offsets the storage fee for 100 GB of Standard LRS objects. | Fee for 200 GB of Standard ZRS objects |
