Free tier	no account; per-bin, no published byte cap; bins expire 6 days after creation unit mixed; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	no account; per-bin, no published byte cap; bins expire 6 days after creation (6 days)
Egress	unmetered; downloads redirect to a signed S3 URL (Backblaze-style hel1-dc4)
Identity	anonymous derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: no account; per-bin, no published byte cap; bins expire 6 days after creation IMPORTANT INVERSION: a real browser UA (Mozilla/.
Limits	retention-clamped expire 6 days source retention-clamped retention from bin creation ('deleted automatically 6 days source 6-day retention from bin creation ('deleted automatically 6 days from now' on the create page). Bin is created implicitly by the first PUT.
Binding	retention-clamped a clock, not a quota: bytes leave whether or not the client is finished with them
Interface	rest rest
Tooling	plain HTTP PUT — 'curl -X PUT --data-binary @file -H "filename: probe.bin" https://filebin.net/<bin>/probe.bin'. Open source (github.com/espebra/filebin2, BSD-3) so it can be self-hosted.
Composes with	unlimited distinct bin IDs, each with its own 6-day clock — 'N bins x 6 days' is the only multiplication, and nothing survives week 2.
Reliability	IMPORTANT INVERSION: a real browser UA (Mozilla/...) gets a 5399-byte 'are you sure / proceed to download' interstitial at HTTP 200; curl's default UA gets the real bytes. Automation works better than a browser here — the opposite of the usual trap. Any client that sets a browser UA (rclone, most HTTP libs, headless Chrome) will silently receive HTML instead of the file.
Notes	no account; per-bin, no published byte cap; bins expire 6 days after creation
