| 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 |

| Composes with | 10 GiB x unlimited accounts is the only path, and each account needs a payment method to go beyond — without one, LFS is disabled until the next month. |
| Reliability | Exceeding free bandwidth without a payment method disables Git LFS entirely until the next month — a hard stop, not a throttle. |
