Billing
Hourly samples of logical object size, averaged over the month. Erasure-coding overhead is not billed.
Only if versioning keeps a non-current version. Lifecycle rules to expire old versions are free to run.
€5 a month. Below that we do not send an invoice.
EU VAT applies unless you supply a valid VAT number. Invoices are monthly, in arrears, with a machine-readable usage breakdown.
