 TiDB also supports execution plan caching for some non-`PREPARE` statements, similar to the `Prepare`/`Execute` statements. For more details, refer to [Non-prepared plan cache](/sql-non-prepared-plan-cache.md).
 
+## Session-level and instance-level Prepared Plan Cache
+
+TiDB supports both session-level plan cache and instance-level plan cache. Session-level plan cache maintains a separate cache for each session, while instance-level plan cache maintains a single shared cache across all sessions in an instance.
+
+To enable or disable instance-level plan cache, you can use the [`tidb_enable_instance_plan_cache`](/system-variables.md#tidb_enable_instance_plan_cache-new-in-v840) system variable. When you set this variable to `ON`, instance-level plan cache is used. Otherwise, session-level plan cache is used.
+
+When you set `tidb_enable_instance_plan_cache` to `ON`, plans can be shared across different sessions. The following is an example:
+
+```sql
+-- Execute the following SQL statements in session 1.
+mysql> PREPARE st FROM "SELECT a FROM t WHERE a<?";
+Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
+
+mysql> SET @a=1;
+Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
+
+mysql> EXECUTE st USING @a;
+Empty set (0.01 sec)
+
+-- Execute the following SQL statements in session 2.
+mysql> PREPARE st FROM "SELECT a FROM t WHERE a<?";
+Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
+
+mysql> SET @a=30;
+Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
+
+mysql> EXECUTE st USING @a;

+
+Starting from v8.5.0, TiDB provides two system tables to view entries in the instance-level plan cache:
+
+* `information_schema.tidb_plan_cache`: shows entries of instance plan cache in the current TiDB instance.
+* `information_schema.cluster_tidb_plan_cache`: shows entries of instance plan cache across all available TiDB instances.
+
+The following example shows how to view entries in `information_schema.tidb_plan_cache`:
+
+```sql

 In the current version of TiDB, if a `Prepare` statement meets any of the following conditions, the query or the plan is not cached:
 
 - The query contains SQL statements other than `SELECT`, `UPDATE`, `INSERT`, `DELETE`, `Union`, `Intersect`, and `Except`.

 Starting from v7.1.0, you can control the maximum number of plans that can be cached in each session by configuring the system variable [`tidb_session_plan_cache_size`](/system-variables.md#tidb_session_plan_cache_size-new-in-v710). For different environments, the recommended value is as follows and you can adjust it according to the monitoring panels:

 You can control the threshold by configuring the system variable `tidb_prepared_plan_cache_memory_guard_ratio`. The threshold is 0.1 by default, which means when the unused memory of the TiDB server is less than 10% of the total memory (90% of the memory is used), the memory protection mechanism is triggered.

+TiDB purges the instance-level plan cache periodically. You can control the amount of memory purged each time by using the [`tidb_instance_plan_cache_reserved_percentage`](/system-variables.md#tidb_instance_plan_cache_reserved_percentage-new-in-v840) system variable. For example, if the default percentage is `0.1` and the maximum cache size is `200MiB`, TiDB purges `200 * 0.1 = 20MiB` of memory each time.
 
 ## Clear execution plan cache
 
+> **Note:**
+>
+> Currently, you can only use the `ADMIN FLUSH [SESSION | INSTANCE] PLAN_CACHE` statement to clear session-level plan cache. Support for clearing instance-level plan cache will be available in a future release.
+
 You can clear execution plan cache by executing the `ADMIN FLUSH [SESSION | INSTANCE] PLAN_CACHE` statement.
 
 In this statement, `[SESSION | INSTANCE]` specifies whether the plan cache is cleared for the current session or the whole TiDB instance. If the scope is not specified, the preceding statement applies to the `SESSION` cache by default.
