- limits note: 10 GiB storage, 10 GiB/month bandwidth, 2 GB per file on Free; 300 req/min unauthenticated LFS API, 3000 authenticated.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: git-lfs client, batch API at /info/lfs/objects/batch (probed: 200).
- composes with: 10 GiB x unlimited accounts is the only path, and each account needs a payment method to go beyond — without one, LFS is disabled until the next month.
- reliability: Exceeding free bandwidth without a payment method disables Git LFS entirely until the next month — a hard stop, not a throttle.
