Hi @henry-zhang I am sorry for that. I have released version 1.5.0 and it fixed above error. Please update it. After updated, you can specify new field 'period_unit', and it support 'Month' and 'Week'. Thanks a lot.

Hi @bittopaz terraform alicloud provider always supports 'PrePaid'. Besides, the latest version version 1.5.0 has supported to change 'PostPaid' to 'PrePaid', and welcome to update and use it. Thanks a lot.

@BlaCatRu I am sorry for that. At present, result from some inner reason, we can not support international account(your account is international account) to create 'PrePaid' instance. But we are working on resolving it and please be patient, thanks a lot.

@ningblue 你好，现在已经支持创建预付费的 ECS 实例了，可以提供下你的报错信息么？
