8 October 2026
Section titled 8 October 2026Object Storage is pay as you go
Section titled Object Storage is pay as you goObject Storage now bills what you use: $0.0135 per GB-month of storage, $4.00 per million Class A operations and $0.32 per million Class B operations, with no charge for egress. Ordering costs nothing and needs no card, and we bill the use above your account's free amounts once a month, on the service's renewal invoice (How Object Storage is billed).
- Each month your account uses 10 GB-month of storage at no charge, 250 on Pro and 1,024 on Business, with 1 million Class A and 10 million Class B operations on every plan. Every Object Storage service on the account shares them (Free each month).
- Your account plan's storage is now this free amount, in place of a service sized to the plan. A service that the dashboard created from your plan before is pay as you go too (Storage from your account plan).
- We measure storage every hour and bill the average. We bill the exact use, with nothing rounded up to the next GB-month or the next million (What a GB-month is). We started counting at the change, so pay as you go bills nothing from before it.
- Requests refused for their signature or permissions, throttled requests, requests that failed on our side and the dashboard's own listings do not count (Which requests count).
- Create Object Storage opens the order page, which has one plan and a Pricing card with the rates and the free amounts. The dashboard no longer has a separate dialog for free storage (Order Object Storage).
Object Storage use, budgets and downloads
Section titled Object Storage use, budgets and downloadsA service's Overview tab has a This month card, with each meter against what is free, Estimated so far and Projected for the month, and a Requests chart of each day's operations. On the Billing tab, a budget emails you at 50%, 80% and 100% of a monthly amount and never stops uploads, and Download usage saves a month's use by bucket and day as a CSV file (The month so far, Set a budget).
GET /api/v1/billing/object-storage/{service_id} returns the month so far, and GET /api/v1/client/object-storage/{service_id}/requests the requests of each day (With the API).
Fixed Object Storage plans are no longer sold
Section titled Fixed Object Storage plans are no longer soldWe no longer sell the Object Storage 250 GB, 1 TB and 5 TB plans, or the Extra Object Storage 250 GB add-on. A service on one of those plans keeps its price, its included storage and its rate above it, and is not charged for requests. Switch to pay as you go on its Overview or Billing tab moves it. An add-on you already have keeps adding 250 GB-month to your free storage until you remove it (Plans that are no longer sold, The storage add-on).
