S3 Included Outbound Bandwidth and Usage Limit

Monthly outbound transfer up to active storage capacity is included without an excess-transfer fee. If usage reaches that limit, service may be temporarily suspended until the storage plan is upgraded or the next billing cycle begins.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Calculate the monthly transfer limit

The included monthly outbound-transfer quantity equals active storage capacity. A 5 TB storage plan therefore includes up to 5 TB of outbound transfer during the billing cycle without an excess-transfer fee.

2

Track high-egress workloads

Media delivery, repeated full restores and public downloads can reach the transfer limit quickly. Scope these before ordering and monitor usage during the billing cycle.

3

Know what happens at the limit

ZATA documentation states that service is temporarily suspended after outbound transfer exceeds active storage capacity. Service resumes after a storage-plan upgrade or when the next billing cycle begins. There is no excess-transfer fee under the current terms.

πŸ“Œ Important Notes

  • Common S3 API requests are included where confirmed for the provisioned service.
