”you're allowed 1TB egress per day for each TB you have stored.”

Where did you find the reference to 1TB per day?

On the page it says:

“1 TB of data egress for every 1 TB storage capacity used”

I would have assumed this is per month.

You're right, I misread it and now can't edit my comment. This puts it all in quite a similar position to Wasabi[1] who have a 1:1 storage:transfer ratio per month and a 90 day minimum storage duration as well. In fact, their price per terabyte is almost exactly the same ($5.99 for Wasabi vs $6 for Rstor).

It's a shame as I love aspects of this type of storage service, even with the caveats, but they're not useful if there's no way to pay more for excess transfer. Luckily I think R2 fits that requirement (though paying for more operations vs paying for more transfer).

That's interesting... When talking to their reps I mentioned Wasabi and asked if they have similar limitations and they said "no". I wonder if enterprise customers are treated differently?
From the pricing page I linked to[1]:

> There are no charges for outbound data transfer when using a dedicated network connection to the RSTOR network and direct peering is established. These connections are charged separately. To find out more please contact us.

I would imagine for enterprise customers you might either be using direct peering / similar or they're able to charge based upon ballpark bandwidth usage. Otherwise I'm unsure as it does seem quite in line with Wasabi otherwise.
