Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Free; attachments served from airtableusercontent.com (CloudFront-fronted) with expiring signed URLs
Identity	institution derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: ith unlimited bases and 1,500 bases per workspace 1,000 API calls per month on Free is a hard wall - that is ~33 uploads/day, so the 1.5 TB chain is rate-limited long before it is
