Stays reported. The same thread says the tolerance moves with regional bandwidth cost, so the number is a cost observation rather than a policy. Free includes a generic UDP entry and the game presets; SSH, HTTPs, TCP and TCP+UDP are Premium. Adds the date the tolerance was stated and the current free/Premium split read from the pricing page today. Re-read 2026-10-23: 'Minecraft Bedrock (NetherNet)' is now a premium-gated preset, so the free set is not every game preset.
