At that point I'll just run Gitea on a sub-$5 VPS. It does more than what I need and is simple to run, and has more storage for less.

I'm more interested in paying a reasonable amount if I hit their free plan limits. My point is that their pricing scheme seems ridiculously high for small time hobby coders like myself and will drive me away from Gitlab if I hit their limits, instead of giving them money.

You can, per another comment it’s $60/yr for 10GB extra storage. Not exactly cheap, though.

$0.50/m per Gig.

Pretty high; maybe 20x what Google would charge for raw storage for regionally available disks.

Not counting access (0.05c/10,000 ops) or backups.
