Quota and billing matrix
The two byte balances are non-interchangeable and do not expire; monthly and daily free allowances reset on schedule.
| Scenario | Quota used | Charging and limits |
|---|---|---|
| Image within the daily free upload allowance | Daily free traffic | Counted when upload succeeds; resets daily |
| Image above the daily free upload allowance | Paid traffic | Supplements bytes only; never bypasses item, file, hourly, abuse, or site limits |
| Permanent image, proof, or file storage and IPFS pins | Monthly free storage → add-on storage | Actual original bytes; one allocation per asset; no return after deletion or unpinning |
| BCH OP_RETURN proof | Weekly free credit → purchased credit | Photo proofs, text pastes, and alive check-ins share the weekly allowance; text pastes may use 1 free credit per day, then use purchased credits |
| Image views, hotlinks, and downloads | No paid traffic | Delivery bandwidth is outside this product |
| General-file daily upload overage | Paid traffic unavailable | The existing limit rejects the upload |
