Free tier	No platform cap at all: `body_limit_size` and `[files.limit]` live in Revolt.toml and are yours to set. Storage is whatever disk/MinIO you attach to Autumn. unit mixed; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Whatever your own host costs — not free, so this is self-hosting rather than a free tier. Only interesting if the client already has a box with unmetered bandwidth.
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	s3, rest rest
Tooling	Docker Compose stack (stoatchat/self-hosted), Autumn file service with S3/MinIO backend, full Revolt/Stoat API so all existing clients and bots work unchanged.
Composes with	N/A — the multiplier is disk, not accounts. It is a reference architecture rather than a free provider.
Reliability	Self-hosted means the data is yours, but the project has had repeated breaking migrations (Autumn refactor 2024-09-30, breaking changes 2024-11-28) that require manual DB work.
Notes	No platform cap at all: `body_limit_size` and `[files.limit]` live in Revolt.toml and are yours to set. Storage is whatever disk/MinIO you attach to Autumn.
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented. Re-read 2026-10-22: the page answers and the claim holds; the rung is unchanged because the read establishes the page, not the enforcement.
Checked	2026-10-21 (inherited); stale on 2026-11-04
