EgressReader-facing views are free and CDN-served, but documents beyond the 5 allowance stay hosted yet become "inaccessible to readers" — so serving capacity is not proportional to stored bytes.

ToolingIssuu API v2 exists (OAuth, upload/publish endpoints) with an official SDK github.com/issuu/issuu-api-sdk; API v1 is deprecated in favour of v2. API access does not lift the free-plan document caps.
Composes with5 documents x 50 MB = 250 MB per account at best; unlimited accounts gives 250 MB units. Hopeless next to 10 TiB.
ReliabilityDocuments over the allowance are silently made unreadable (still stored, retrievable only by the logged-in publisher), so public serving breaks without any error.
