Billing and limits
How it is billed
Object Storage is billed on real usage, every day, from your Elestio credits. Each project has one Object Storage line per month on the Billing page. There is nothing free: every GB stored and every request is billed.
Prices
| Single region or Global | Multi-region | |
|---|---|---|
| Storage, Standard (per GB per month) | $0.02 | $0.025 |
| Storage, Infrequent access (per GB per month) | $0.01 | $0.015 |
| Storage, Archive with instant read (per GB per month) | $0.004 | $0.006 |

| Reads: GET and others (per 1,000) | $0.0005 | $0.0005 |

Reading files of the cheaper classes: $0.01 per GB for Infrequent access, $0.03 per GB for Archive with instant read; Archive files must be restored first. Files of these classes are billed for 30 days (Infrequent access) or 90 days (Archive) at least, even if deleted before.
The price depends on the region of the bucket: Global and the single cities, or Multi-region Europe and US.
Files in the recycle bin are billed like stored files. Downloads of a public bucket are read requests billed to you.
Limits
- 10 buckets and 20 API keys per project.
- Storage: 100 GB per project during the free trial, 1 TB once you are a paying customer.
You receive an email when a project reaches 80% of its storage quota. At 100%, uploads are blocked; reading and deleting files still work.
To get more, click Request more on the Object Storage page. Only the project owner can ask.
When the credit is exhausted
- The Object Storage of the project is suspended: files are kept but cannot be read, and public buckets become private.
- You receive reminders by email before the deletion date.
- If the credit is not topped up in time, the buckets and their files are deleted: 3 days after the suspension during the free trial, 14 days for paying customers.
As soon as you top up your credit, the Object Storage comes back within a few minutes and you receive an email. Public read stays off: turn it on again from the bucket settings if you need it.
Deleting a project or an account
The buckets of a project are deleted with the project, and the buckets of an account with the account. This is final.
