Free tier	50 MB per non-animated image, 200 MB per GIF/video; 'no upload limit per account'; 50 images/hour unit MB; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	free, direct i.imgur.com links, Fastly/Cloudflare CDN, no per-IP shaping observed; hotlinking is the product
Identity	anonymous derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: r account'; 50 images/hour the big one: Imgur has purged anonymous/unviewed content in past cleanup rounds and the 50-per-hour cap is enforced per IP; recompression means you cannot trea
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	documented Imgur API v3 with Client-ID-only anonymous upload (POST /3/image); many CLI wrappers (imgur-screenshot, sharex, rclone has no backend but community scripts do)
Composes with	50 images/hour x 50 MB = 2.5 GB/hour per IP, x multiple Client-IDs x multiple accounts. ~1.2 TB/month/IP at the hourly cap if you actually sustain it
Reliability	the big one: Imgur has purged anonymous/unviewed content in past cleanup rounds and the 50-per-hour cap is enforced per IP; recompression means you cannot treat it as a byte store at all
Notes	50 MB per non-animated image, 200 MB per GIF/video; 'no upload limit per account'; 50 images/hour
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
