| Egress | egress is metered at $0.01 / GiB; no byte allowance is published, and the account's $5 of monthly usage is consumed first |

| Per-object cap | not stated |

| Retention | not stated |

| Interface | rest, cli, ssh REST API at https://kedge.dev/api (OpenAPI 3.1), the kedge CLI and SSH commands |

| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented the billing page was read on 2026-10-22. The $5 recurs monthly, which makes it a tier rather than the one-time credit the record implied, and the page calls the rates estimates because the service is in public preview |

| 2026-10-22 | kedge.dev/docs/billing | 'Every account includes $5 of monthly usage, consumed before paid credit.' with 'CPU $15 / vCPU-month ($0.0205 / vCPU-hour)', 'Memory $5 / GiB-month', and 'A scaled-to-zero app has no running CPU or memory usage, so it accrues only its stored-data cost.' quoted |
| 2026-11-03 | kedge.dev/docs/billing | egress is metered at $0.01 per GiB |
| 2026-11-03 | kedge.dev/docs/billing | the free allowance is a dollar amount, not a byte volume |
| 2026-11-03 | kedge.dev/docs/api | a REST API and SSH commands exist |

| 2026-11-04 | kedge.dev/docs/api | the service exposes a REST API and SSH commands, supporting interface rest and ssh |
