| Limits |
per-object-cap 500 MB podcast audio, 5 MB images, 1 MB fonts. Email body itself is capped at Gmail's 102 KB clipping threshold, so the attachment is the only real payload path. No published aggregate byte quota on free. |
| Binding | per-object-cap the per-object cap sets the shard size and therefore the object count; it bounds the total more tightly than any headline quota |
| Interface | rest, rclone rest |
| Tooling | REST API exists (beehiiv API + Zapier integration, v3 app). No rclone backend. Note: the brief's Substack comparison is the right frame — Substack is 700 MB/PDF, beehiiv is 500 MB/episode. |
| Composes with | Episodes are per-show; multiple shows × multiple publications per account. But 500 MB × episodes is a podcasting quota, not a blob store, and the free plan's real limit is subscriber count (2,500), not bytes. |
| Reliability | Media re-encoding risk must be assumed for audio/video paths; original-byte retrieval is not documented. Treat as CDN surface, not storage. |
