• Each Alibaba Cloud main account supports up to 200 active data transfer plans. This quota cannot be increased, so choose a plan that fits your business requirements.

• Covered regions vary by the selected area.

• A data transfer plan offsets data transfer fees for multiple pay-by-traffic products.

  Supported products and traffic types

  Product	Traffic type	Description
  ECS	IPv4	IPv4 traffic from static public IP addresses on pay-by-data-transfer ECS instances.
  EIP		IPv4 traffic from pay-by-data-transfer EIPs bound to the following resources (excludes BGP Multi-ISP Pro): ECS instances in a virtual private cloud (VPC) Secondary elastic network interfaces (ENIs) SLB instances, including the following: Private-facing Classic Load Balancer (CLB) instances in a VPC Application Load Balancer (ALB) instances Network Load Balancer (NLB) instances NAT Gateway instances High-availability virtual IP addresses (HaVips)
  CLB		IPv4 traffic from public IP addresses of pay-by-data-transfer public-facing CLB instances.
  Internet Shared Bandwidth		IPv4 traffic from Internet Shared Bandwidth instances billed by dominant traffic. Excludes Data Transfer over BGP Pro Lines.
  IPv6 gateway	IPv6	Public IPv6 traffic from pay-by-data-transfer IPv6 Internet bandwidth.
  Cloud Data Transfer (CDT)	IPv4	Data Transfer Plans automatically offset CDT public Internet traffic in the first billing tier (0–10 TB) only, with no extra configuration required. CDT public Internet traffic beyond the first billing tier is offset by CDT resource plans or billed as CDT pay-by-traffic. CDT traffic statistics include traffic already offset by Data Transfer Plans, which is expected. CDT outbound traffic from cross-region VPC peering connections cannot be offset by Data Transfer Plans.

• A data transfer plan cannot be shared across accounts. It can only offset traffic fees for pay-by-traffic products under the current account. To offset traffic fees for another account, purchase a separate data transfer plan for that account.

• Data transfer plans do not support renewal. When a plan expires or runs out, you must purchase a new data transfer plan.

• After a plan runs out, you can continue purchasing new plans without quantity restrictions, subject to the maximum of 200 active plans per Alibaba Cloud account. Newly purchased plans take effect immediately and automatically offset your traffic fees.
