The renewal limit is the second: the same price is good for one renewal only, after which the list price applies. source

| Composes with | CNY 99 for two years of a 30 Mbps overseas box is the cheapest credible origin, and it composes with a free CDN in front to take the 1 TB cap off the serving path; the annual renewal is the only cliff. |

| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |

| Notes | The promotion recurs and the v2ex threads span several months, each restating the same configuration; no vendor page with the price was read, because the activity page is script-rendered, so this is reported rather than documented. The 528 yuan three-year domestic shape (2C4G 6M) is for first-time Lighthouse buyers only and is noted here rather than given its own record. |
