Upgrade limits	If the bandwidth of your VPN gateway is smaller than or equal to 200 Mbit/s, you cannot upgrade the bandwidth to 500 Mbit/s or 1,000 Mbit/s. If the bandwidth of your VPN gateway is 500 Mbit/s, you can upgrade the bandwidth only to 1,000 Mbit/s. Your services are not affected during the upgrade process.
Effective time	After you upgrade a VPN gateway, the upgrade immediately takes effect. However, you may need to wait a few minutes due to network latency.

If the bandwidth of your VPN gateway is 1,000 Mbit/s, you can downgrade the bandwidth only to 500 Mbit/s. If the bandwidth of your VPN gateway is 500 Mbit/s, you cannot downgrade the bandwidth. If the transmitted traffic of a VPN gateway exceeds the maximum bandwidth during the bandwidth downgrade process, connections may be interrupted. Therefore, we recommend that you enable automatic reconnection for your services. If you decrease the maximum number of concurrent SSL connections for a VPN gateway and the number of existing clients connected to the VPN gateway exceeds the new limit, some connections may be interrupted. Therefore, we recommend that you enable automatic reconnection for your services.
