verdict: storage/cachix says fails-quota, storage/cachix-2 says fails-egress

Free tier	5 GB free for open-source projects: 'Users have a free 5 GB limit for open source projects and 20 Cachix Deploy agents.' Paid tiers start at 50 GiB. unit GB; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Unlimited bandwidth even on the paid Starter tier ('Unlimited bandwidth', 'CloudFlare CDN caching'); free tier inherits the CF-backed delivery. Free egress is genuinely not the constraint here.
Identity	email (placeholder) not published
Binding	none no constraint of a named kind was recorded; the verdict rests on the quota sentence rather than on a named limit
Interface	rest, rclone, cli rest
Tooling	`cachix` CLI (push/use), Nix `--substituters`, and the standard Nix binary-cache HTTP protocol (narinfo/nar). No rclone backend but the nar protocol is scriptable.
Composes with	one cache per account, 5 GB free; unlimited free accounts x 5 GB. Because a Nix cache is content-addressed and deduplicated, identical NARs are only stored once per cache - so multiplication is by account, not by file.
Reliability	Clean, documented, Cloudflare-fronted, unlimited bandwidth - the 5 GB is the only issue, and it is 100x short of the workload. Any Nix-cache-based plan is account-farming at 5 GB/account.
Notes	5 GB free for open-source projects: 'Users have a free 5 GB limit for open source projects and 20 Cachix Deploy agents.' Paid tiers start at 50 GiB.
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
