| Price | USD 5 a month flat, prorated, including 250 GB of storage and 1 TB of outbound transfer added to the account's global transfer pool; storage beyond 250 GB USD 0.02 per GB a month (about USD 20 per TB), and overages may vary by data center; outbound overage USD 0.005 per GB (about USD 5 per TB), USD 0.015 per GB in Jakarta and USD 0.007 per GB in São Paulo |
| Limits |
5 GB per single upload; multipart parts of 5 MiB to 5 GiB, up to 10,000 parts; 1,000 buckets per account per endpoint by default; default ingress and egress throughput 2 Gbps per account per endpoint on E0 and E1 and 10 Gbps on E2 and E3; on E0 and E1 delete requests are capped at 100 per second per bucket within the 750 requests/s limit; quotas are account defaults, while product limits cannot be increased |
| Binding | none no named limit binds before the transfer price: the default capacity is 100 TB per account per endpoint on E1 and E2 and 500 TB on E3, objects reach 5 TiB, and a bucket takes at least 750 requests/s; the deciding terms are the storage and outbound transfer prices |
| Identity | card a valid credit card on file is a requirement of the Master Services Agreement; Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover are accepted, and credit can be added from a PayPal account |
| Egress | enabling Object Storage adds 1 TB a month of transfer allowance, prorated by active hours, to the account's global network transfer pool and none to region-specific pools such as Jakarta and São Paulo; all outbound transfer from Object Storage is metered, over public IPv4 and IPv6, even to other services in the same data center; inbound transfer is free; transfer beyond the pools is billed at the end of the billing period at the rate of the service region free allowance: 1 TB per month price per tb: USD 0.005 per GB (about USD 5 per TB) beyond the pool; USD 0.015 per GB in Jakarta and USD 0.007 per GB in São Paulo |
| Per-object cap | 5 TiB per object; a single upload is at most 5 GB, larger objects by multipart upload of up to 10,000 parts of 5 MiB to 5 GiB (5497558138880 bytes) |
| Retention | not stated |
| Interface | s3-compatible, rclone s3 |
| Tooling | S3 API, rclone s3 backend, any SDK. Cluster URL per region. The endpoint type (E0 to E3) is a property of the region and its endpoint hostname, chosen when a bucket is created, and is not an account-level default; most regions offer one type and a few offer several; new customers are directed to the standard E2 or E3 endpoints, and Limited Availability endpoints are opened by a support ticket. |
| Composes with | The 1 TB/month included egress is the free slice: enough for 33 GB/day, matching Gcore. Its real use is as a stable S3 origin behind one of the free CDNs, not as the delivery path — $5/TB egress is good but Bunny's Volume tier matches it and CacheFly/Telnyx beat it. |
| Reliability | requests above a bucket's rate limit are answered with HTTP 503; spreading data across buckets gives each bucket its own limit |
| Notes | Scales 250 GB → 5 PB per bucket, 10 billion objects, 20K RPS. Entry plan $5/mo = 250 GB + 1 TB outbound included. |
| Evidence note | documented the plan price, storage and transfer rates and the card requirement are quoted from the first-party pricing page, the transfer metering from the first-party network transfer page, and the object, request and capacity limits from the first-party quotas and limits page |

| Binding | volume-quota the 60-day expiry binds, not the volume: at 1 TiB a month the 60 days spend 2 TiB of an 18.2 TiB credit. At a user's volume the credit is nine times larger than the window it lives in. |
| Identity | card Maintaining a valid credit card on file with your account is a requirement of our Master Services Agreement. |
| Egress | $100 of credit at $0.005 per GB is 18.2 TiB, or 9.1 TiB a month across the 60-day window, plus the plan's included transfer of 0 to 20 TB a month; ingress: udp free allowance: $100 of credit at $0.005 per GB is 18.2 TiB, or 9.1 TiB a month across the 60-day window, plus the plan's included transfer of 0 to 20 TB a month |

| Composes with | one instance for 60 days with 18.2 TiB of metered egress behind it, or a plan with a 20 TB bundle and no credit needed |
| Reliability | unused promo credit expires at 60 days; plans that bundle no transfer bill every outbound byte |
| Notes | Arithmetic: $100 over $0.005 a GB is 20,000 GB = 20 TB = 18.19 TiB in total, or 9.09 TiB a month across 60 days. If the rate is $0.01 instead the credit is 10,000 GB = 9.09 TiB total and 4.55 TiB a month, which still clears the test, so the verdict does not depend on which of the two rates is right. The included transfer is the second lever: a plan that bundles 20 TB a month makes the credit irrelevant at 1 TiB a month, and the pricing page confirms bundles run 'from 0 TB to 20 TB per month'. |
| Evidence note | reported the $100 and 60 days come from an archived copy of Linode's own documentation; the current /lp/free-credit/ path returns 404 and the pricing page renders no credit line. The $0.005 overage rate is third-party. A current first-party page carrying both would raise this to documented |
