| Limits | - per-ip-shaping (binding) 4 MB/s source
per-object-cap unknown; throughput is the binding limit (2–4 MB/s up). Public bucket support unclear. |

| Identity | national-id registration asks for a mobile phone number (reported on a blog dated 2026-01-27); 1 TB needs real-name verification (实名) and 500 GB does not |

| Interface | s3, rclone, cli s3 |

| Tooling | S3 endpoint https://s3.hi168.com with an AccessKey and SecretKey issued from the 存储管理 app inside their cloud desktop; path-style addressing must be forced (OpenList lists no files otherwise); works with rclone s3, s3cmd, aws-cli, OpenClaw. No named first-party client. |
|---|
| Composes with | 1 TB per account after real-name. Bucket count per account unverified (the article shows bucket creation, count not stated). The only way the total grows is another account, and each one costs a 实名 identity — so this does NOT multiply for a user. |
|---|
| Reliability | On 2026-11-03 the home page shows a maintenance notice that suspends Hi168 services. A direct probe of https://www.hi168.com timed out while a brokered read returned that notice, and the S3 endpoint s3.hi168.com failed certificate verification (tls_untrusted). |
