A computing power plan is a prepaid resource plan offered by ApsaraDB for RDS. It can be used to offset the cost of pay-as-you-go computing resources for instances of . You are not billed for resources covered by the plan. You are billed hourly only for usage that exceeds the plan's quota. This topic describes the billing rules for computing power plans and how to purchase them.

Use cases

For large or fluctuating workloads, we recommend combining the Pay-As-You-Go billing method with a compute pack. This combination is more cost-effective than Pay-As-You-Go alone and more flexible than a Subscription.

Example scenarios:

  • Scenario 1: You need to explore and test various RDS instances for a few days.

    For short-term use, a Subscription is unsuitable. Purchase a single compute pack to cover the costs of multiple Pay-As-You-Go instances and release them when you are finished. This approach is convenient, flexible, and more cost-effective than using Pay-As-You-Go alone.

  • Scenario 2: Your workload is expected to fluctuate significantly over the next six months, and the timing of peak usage is unpredictable. You need to adjust instance configurations or add more instances to handle these peaks.

    For long-term, high-volume usage, Pay-As-You-Go alone can be expensive. Pairing a compute pack with your Pay-As-You-Go instances lowers costs while retaining their convenience and flexibility.

Notes

  • Only Alibaba Cloud accounts can purchase Compute Packages.

  • Pricing is subject to the details on the purchase page.

  • Compute Packages are currently available only in the following regions:

    China (Hangzhou), China (Shanghai), China (Nanjing), China (Qingdao), China (Beijing), China (Zhangjiakou), China (Hohhot), China (Ulanqab), China (Shenzhen), China (Heyuan), China (Guangzhou), and China (Chengdu).

  • Unused resources in a Compute Package expire at the end of its validity period.

  • You can purchase multiple Compute Packages, and their benefits are cumulative. Compute Packages cannot be renewed, upgraded, or downgraded.

    Note

    If you purchase multiple Compute Packages, the one that expires first is used first.

  • Compute Packages are non-refundable.

  • If you have both an RDS Savings Plan and an RDS Compute Package, the RDS Compute Package is applied first.

Applicable resources

Applicable resource

Description

pay-as-you-go primary instance

Offsets the compute resources for an RDS pay-as-you-go primary instance.

pay-as-you-go read-only instance

Offsets the compute resources for an RDS pay-as-you-go read-only instance.
Note

subscription, pay-as-you-go, and serverless are three distinct billing methods. A resource plan applies offsets only as described above. For example, a resource plan offsets the compute resources for a pay-as-you-go instance, but not for a serverless instance or the storage resources of a pay-as-you-go instance.

Deduction rules

Rule

Description

Deduction method

During the validity period of a Compute Package, units are deducted hourly based on the instance types you use.

  • Unused units in your Compute Package expire at the end of its validity period.

  • Usage that exceeds the units in your Compute Package is billed at the pay-as-you-go rate.

Note

A Compute Package is measured in units. The number of units consumed per hour depends on the engine and instance type of the pay-as-you-go instance,. For details, see Compute Package unit consumption details.

Deduction priority

  • The deduction priority for resources covered by an RDS Compute Package is as follows:

    Pay-as-you-go primary instance > Pay-as-you-go read-only instance

  • Deduction priority when using both an RDS Savings Plan and an RDS Compute Package:

    RDS Compute Packages are applied before RDS Savings Plans.

Compute plan examples

Scenario 1

Suppose you have an RDS MySQL instance with the instance type code mysql.n1.micro.1 (1 vCPU, 1 GB) in your account. You purchase a 1-year Compute Plan that provides 10 units.

The plan applies as follows:

  1. A mysql.n1.micro.1 instance consumes 0.0015 units per hour. The 10-unit Compute Plan covers usage for approximately 10 units ÷ 0.0015 units/hour ≈ 6,666 hours.

    Note

  2. 6,666 hours is approximately 9 months, 7 days, and 18 hours. Once the Compute Plan's units are depleted, the instance reverts to pay-as-you-go billing.

Scenario 2

Suppose you have an RDS MySQL instance with the instance type code mysql.n1.micro.1 (1 vCPU, 1 GB) and an RDS PostgreSQL instance with the instance type code pg.n2.2c.1m (2 vCPUs, 4 GB) in your account. You purchase a 1-year Compute Plan that provides 10 units.

The plan applies as follows:

  1. The mysql.n1.micro.1 instance type consumes 0.0015 units per hour, and the pg.n2.2c.1m instance type consumes 0.0093 units per hour. The two instances consume a combined total of 0.0015 units + 0.0093 units = 0.0108 units per hour.

  2. The 10-unit Compute Plan covers usage for approximately 10 units ÷ 0.0108 units/hour ≈ 925 hours.

  3. 925 hours is approximately 1 month, 8 days, and 13 hours. Once the Compute Plan's units are depleted, the instances revert to pay-as-you-go billing.

Purchase an RDS compute package

  1. Go to the RDS buy page.

  2. For Billing Method, select Compute Plan.

  3. Select a Region and a Compute Plan Capacity.

    Parameter

    Description

    Region

    The compute package is available only in the following regions and can be used in any of them:

    China (Hangzhou), China (Shanghai), China (Nanjing), China (Qingdao), China (Beijing), China (Zhangjiakou), China (Hohhot), China (Ulanqab), China (Shenzhen), China (Heyuan), China (Guangzhou), and China (Chengdu).

    Compute Plan Capacity

    You can purchase a compute package with a capacity ranging from 5 to 10,000 units.

    The larger the capacity you purchase, the greater the discount:

    • 5 to 499 units: 10% discount.

    • 500 to 4,999 units: 15% discount.

    • 5,000 to 10,000 units: 20% discount.

  4. Set the Subscription Duration and Quantity, and click Buy Now.

    The following options are available:

    • Subscription duration: You can purchase a compute package for one or two years. Unused units expire when the subscription ends.

    • Quantity: You can purchase multiple compute packages and use them together.

  5. Review the service agreement and click Agree and Place Order.

Computing package usage details

  1. Log in to Expenses & Costs.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose account > resource package.

  3. On the resource package page, set resource dimension to resource package.

  4. On the instance summary tab, you can view the total and remaining amounts for the resource package (the product name is rds_cuudr_dp_cn).

  5. Click the usage details tab to view the deduction details for the resource package (the product name is rds_cuudr_dp_cn).

    The remaining amount before deduction, deduction amount, and remaining amount after deduction columns show the deduction details for each resource package instance.

Resource plan consumption

Note

The following credit consumption figures are for reference only. Your actual credit consumption is based on the usage details of your resource plan.

Use the following formulas to calculate credit consumption: Monthly credit consumption = Hourly credit consumption × 24 × days in the month and Yearly credit consumption = Hourly credit consumption × 24 × days in the year. These calculations assume a 30-day month and a 365-day year.
