- free tier: 10 MiB total per paste, 5 MiB per file. Anonymous pastes expire after 7 days; signed-in pastes can be permanent. Built on Cloudflare Workers. | unit: mixed | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]

- limits:
  - per-object-cap (binding): 5 MiB per file [1]
  - retention-clamped: expire after 7 days [1]
- limits note: 10 MiB total / 5 MiB per file; 7-day expiry anonymous; visibility public or unlisted when anonymous.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: https://api.paste.gg/v1/pastes, JSON body {name, files:[{name, content:{format:'text', value}}]}; no key needed for anonymous, returns a deletion key. API keys available at Settings -> API keys.
- composes with: unlimited anonymous pastes x up to 10 MiB, but 7-day anonymous expiry makes it a hot/cache tier only. With free accounts: permanent pastes x unlimited per account — that is the only archive-shaped path.
- reliability: CF Workers edge means fast global reads and no egress bill. Anonymous content is dropped at 7 days by design; signed-in is required for anything you want to keep.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- extras:
  - 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.
