per-object-cap 20 GB, video only. Video is re-encoded for the internal player (their own announcement of the 'Внутренний видеоплеер'), so originals are not what gets served — rule 4 disqualifier. |
| 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 | unknown Web + a reverse-engineered API (community downloaders exist: ath31st/boosty_downloader). |
| Tooling | Unofficial API clients only. |
| Composes with | 20 GB is attractive but only for video, and video is transcoded — so the ingest number does not translate into storage of arbitrary bytes. |
| Reliability | Re-encodes at ingest (rule 4: podcast/video hosts that re-encode do not return your bytes). Limit has been reduced unilaterally at least once, which is a retention-clamp risk. |
