Free tier	free plan max_byte_size 26,214,400 (25 MiB); paid 'purple'/'onyx' 104,857,600 (100 MiB). `file_expiration: [0,0]` on every plan = never expires. unit mixed; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Limits	per-object-cap (binding) per-object-cap 25 MiB source per-object-cap 25 MiB free. 125 MB on the direct /upload, 5 GB via /presigned (per llms.txt) — the /presigned path is the one that matters and it is far above the free plan's advertised 25 MiB.
Identity	anonymous anonymous
Egress	unmetered, Cloudflare-fronted (Server: cloudflare, Cache-Control public max-age=14400).
Per-object cap	per-object-cap 25 MiB (26214400 bytes)
Retention	not stated
Interface	unknown NIP-96 HTTP file storage. Discoverable at /.well-known/nostr/nip96.json; POST /upload; /presigned 'handles up to 5 GB'.
Tooling	curl; NIP-98 Authorization header (signed event). The llms.txt documents the /presigned path for large objects.
Composes with	machine-readable plan manifest means the cap is queryable rather than scraped — one GET tells you the size ceiling per plan.
Reliability	transforms media at ingest on some paths (resizing, format_conversion, compression, metadata_stripping are all listed in the manifest) — verify that originals come back byte-identical.
Parsed numbers	has-free-tier 1 per-object-cap 25 MiB

unit note	free_tier.unit is 'mixed' because the headline is denominated in MiB or KiB, which the schema enum does not carry; the verbatim free_tier.stated keeps the true unit.
