Only for FortiCloud Contract Users: The FortiCloud license subscription receives an extra 50% VM buffer when the current license subscription depleted.

If you have both FortiCloud Contract and AWS Marketplace Subscription, there is no 50% buffer. Instead it will be counted as extra usage or extra VMs under AWS Marketplace Subscription.
