- limits:
  - per-object-cap (binding): maximum file size for a single podcast episode upload is 500 MB [1]
- limits note: per-object-cap 500 MB podcast audio, 5 MB images, 1 MB fonts. Email body itself is capped at Gmail's 102 KB clipping threshold, so the attachment is the only real payload path. No published aggregate byte quota on free.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: REST API exists (beehiiv API + Zapier integration, v3 app). No rclone backend.
- composes with: Episodes are per-show; multiple shows × multiple publications per account. But 500 MB × episodes is a podcasting quota, not a blob store, and the free plan's real limit is subscriber count (2,500), not bytes.
- reliability: Media re-encoding risk must be assumed for audio/video paths; original-byte retrieval is not documented. Treat as CDN surface, not storage.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- evidence note: Re-read on 2026-11-03 from vendor pages: https://www.beehiiv.com/support/article/41323776364823 (500 MB maximum for a single podcast episode upload) and https://www.beehiiv.com/pricing (Free includes up to 2,500 subscribers; every plan includes unlimited email sends). The per-object cap that binds the verdict cites a vendor capture; the image, font and email-clipping limits stay unverified.
