Overall Logic for Accessing a Public Cloud Gateway

1. The device license fee and the acceleration traffic fee are decoupled.
2. Device Service Handling Rules When No Data Transfer Plan Is Available.
After a data transfer plan expires or its quota is exhausted, the device is assigned two binary service handling attributes, as detailed below:
Pay-as-you-go (Postpaid) Mode: After the data transfer plan expires or is exhausted, the device can continue to use the traffic service. The traffic usage is billed according to the pay-as-you-go standard, and the fees are settled uniformly at the end of each month.
Acceleration Service Cutoff Mode: After the data transfer plan expires or its quota is exhausted, the system directly blocks the device's traffic acceleration service and no longer provides the related network acceleration capability.
3. Data Transfer Plan Auto-Renewal Attribute.
The data transfer plan supports the auto-renewal feature.
For a data transfer plan with auto-renewal enabled, the renewal operation is automatically completed and the service continues after the plan expires or its quota is exhausted.
For a data transfer plan without auto-renewal enabled, the device service handling rules for when no data transfer plan is available, as described above, are applied after the plan expires or its quota is exhausted.
4. Data Transfer Plan Device Binding Attribute.
The data transfer plan supports the feature of multi-device binding. A single data transfer plan can be bound to multiple devices simultaneously. The validity period and available quota of the data transfer plan used by each bound device are determined based on the initial configuration of that specific plan.
5. Usage Priority Rules Under Multi-Data-Transfer-Plan Ownership.
A single device can belong to multiple data transfer plans simultaneously. During actual traffic usage, the system by default prioritizes invoking and consuming the resources of the earliest created data transfer plan. After that plan expires or is exhausted, the system then enables the subsequently created data transfer plans in sequence.
