IBEE Object Storage charges based on the total volume of data stored, internet egress, and two classes of API operations:

  1. Class A operations which are more expensive and generally write or mutate state.
  2. Class B operations which generally read existing data.

Uploads are free. Traffic between Object Storage and IBEE services in the same region is free.

All included usage is on a monthly basis.

Eligible early users may receive the Promo plan for 90 days. Included usage resets each month. Once your included usage is exhausted, usage is charged at the pay-as-you-go rates below.

Storage usage

Storage is billed using GB-month as the billing metric. This means charges depend on both the amount of data stored and how long it is stored during the billing period.

For example:

  • Storing 1 GB for a full month = 1 GB-month
  • Storing 10 GB for a full month = 10 GB-months
  • Storing 5 GB for half a month = 2.5 GB-months

These are illustrative examples to explain how storage billing works.

Class A operations

Class A operations include write and mutation requests billed at ₹420 / million:

Class B operations

Class B operations include read and retrieval requests billed at ₹35 / million:

Free and unmetered usage

  • Uploads into Object Storage are free.
  • Traffic between Object Storage and IBEE services in the same region is free.
  • Internet egress is billed only after any included plan usage is exhausted.
  • API request charges apply only after the included monthly request limits are exceeded.
  • Ingress is free, but subject to fair-use protections and abuse prevention controls to help keep the platform reliable for all users.
  • Accounts with unusually high or abusive upload activity may be rate limited or reviewed.

Rate limits

OperationDefault limit
Public downloads1,000 req/sec per domain
S3 API reads (GET Object)500 req/sec
S3 API writes (PUT Object, UploadPart)40 req/sec
S3 metadata / control operations50 req/sec

Public downloads are available through dl-{project_id}.blob.dev or your own custom domain.

These are default platform limits. If you expect sustained high request rates or large public download volumes, contact support.

Billing examples

Free plan example

If an account stores 8 GB throughout the month, uses 20 GB of internet egress, makes 500,000 Class A requests, and makes 5 million Class B requests in a month, the estimated cost for the month would be:

Frequently asked questions

What is included in the Free plan?

The Free plan includes 10 GB-month of storage, 25 GB/month internet egress, 1 million Class A requests, and 10 million Class B requests each month.

What is included in the Promo plan?

The Promo plan is available for 90 days and includes 25 GB-month of storage, 50 GB/month internet egress, 1 million Class A requests, and 10 million Class B requests each month during the promo period.

When do included usage limits reset?

Included usage resets monthly. For Promo accounts, included monthly usage resets each month during the 90-day promo period.

What happens after I exceed included usage?

Standard pay-as-you-go pricing applies: Storage ₹1.5/GB-month, Internet egress ₹2/GB, Class A requests ₹420/million, and Class B requests ₹35/million.

Is uploading data free?

Yes. Ingress (uploads) is always free. We do not charge for data uploaded into Object Storage.

What is internet egress?

Internet egress is data transferred from Object Storage to the internet — for example, downloading files, serving files publicly, or transferring data to external systems.

Is traffic to other IBEE services free?

Yes. Traffic between Object Storage and IBEE services in the same region is free.

What are Class A and Class B operations?

API operations are billed in two categories. Class A covers write and mutation operations such as uploads and multipart upload writes. Class B covers read and retrieval operations such as downloads and metadata reads.

Are there rate limits?

Yes. Default limits are 1,000 req/s per domain for public downloads, 500 req/s for GET Object, 40 req/s for PUT Object and UploadPart, and 50 req/s for metadata and control operations.

Can rate limits be increased?

Yes. If you have a legitimate high-volume workload, contact support to discuss higher limits.

Are free uploads unlimited?

Ingress is free but subject to fair-use protections and abuse prevention controls. Accounts with unusually high or abusive upload activity may be rate limited or reviewed to protect platform reliability.
