Only archive objects need to be restored.

Objects uploaded to an archive bucket are saved as archive objects in the frozen state by default. To access such objects, restore them first.

5. After the restore is completed and the object status becomes restored, you can access the object. By default, the restored state lasts for 24 hours. Within the 24 hours, you can invoke the Restore Object API to prolong the period of the restored state. The default prolonged period is 24 hours and the maximum prolonged period is 7 days. After the period, the object returns the frozen state.

Note
When you change the storage type of an object, the object is saved as a new object of the target storage type and the original object is overwritten. If you change the storage type of an object of the low frequency or archive storage type and the storage duration is shorter than the specified minimum duration, you must pay the storage fees for the remaining days.
