Free tier	1 GB file storage on Free; 1 GB/month file egress; 0.5 GB database; 40 deployments unit GB; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	1 GB/month data egress total on Free (serving user files, accessing files in functions, backups) — equal to the storage size, so a full store can be fetched exactly once per month. free_allowance: 1 GB per month
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, cli rest
Tooling	Convex client SDKs (JS/Python/Rust), HTTP actions, `npx convex` CLI, `storage.getUrl()` bearer URLs — 'anyone with the URL can access the file' (public, no auth)
Composes with	Free/Starter is per TEAM; 40 deployments per team on Free. But file storage is 1 GB total per team, not per deployment — so deployments do not multiply storage. Multiple teams/accounts is the only axis. Upload URLs are one-time and short-lived, which makes external tools awkward.
Reliability	Free has hard resource caps (Starter can exceed with usage-based billing). Well-behaved, no data loss reported; 100 MiB response cap breaks large-file serving via custom routes.
Notes	1 GB file storage on Free; 1 GB/month file egress; 0.5 GB database; 40 deployments
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
Checked	2026-10-21 (inherited); stale on 2026-11-04
