The Cloud Load Balancer (CLB) resource package is a new billing mode for performance capacity instances. Compared to the pay-as-you-go mode, the unit price of a CLB resource package is more favorable, and the effective time of the resource package can be set according to actual business needs. This document will guide you on how to quickly purchase a suitable resource package.
Notes
CLB resource packages only support deducting instance fees and Loadbalancer Capacity Unit (LCU) fees for performance capacity instances.
When purchasing a CLB resource package, you can choose to activate it immediately or at a specified time.
There is no limit to the number of resource packages at the account level. You can purchase up to 20 at a time.
When there are multiple resource packages under an account, deductions are made based on the package expiration time; the package that expires first is deducted first.
Deductions are not supported for consumption incurred before a resource package becomes effective. If all resource packages in your billing region have expired and have not been renewed, the generated instance fees and LCU fees are settled on a pay-as-you-go basis.
