Object Storage Service:Temporary storage fees

Last Updated:Dec 15, 2025

When you restore a Cold Archive or Deep Cold Archive object in Object Storage Service (OSS), a replica of the object is generated for temporary access. You are charged for the temporary storage of the replica until the Cold Archive or Deep Cold Archive object returns to the frozen state.

Note

This topic describes the billable items and billing methods of OSS storage usage. For more information about the unit price of the billable items, see Object Storage Service pricing.

Billable items

Important

The temporary storage fees for replicas and the storage fees for Cold Archive or Deep Cold Archive objects are separately calculated. For example, if you restore a Cold Archive or Deep Cold Archive object of 1 GB and the object remains in the restored state for one day, you are charged for the storage of the Cold Archive or Deep Cold Archive object and the temporary storage of a Standard replica of 1 GB for one day.

Billing method

Temporary replica (LRS) capacity (TempStorageCAStd)

When you restore a Cold Archive or Deep Cold Archive object, a locally redundant storage (LRS) replica is generated for temporary access. You are charged for the temporary storage of the replica until the Cold Archive or Deep Cold Archive object returns to the frozen state. The replica is automatically deleted after the Cold Archive or Deep Cold Archive object returns to the frozen state.

You are billed on an hourly basis. Bills are generally generated after a billing cycle ends. The time when bills are generated is determined by the system.

  • Pay-as-you-go: Temporary storage fees = Restored object size (GB) × Unit price per month/30 (days)/24 (hours)

  • Resource plans: not supported
