| Per-object cap | 500 MB per file (500000000 bytes) |
| Retention | Retention: 1 month inactive for unregistered, 3 months registered, 5 months premium (30 days) |
| Egress | Free downloads speed-limited ('We need to limit download speed for keep our servers online 24/7'); no GB cap published. |
| Identity | institution derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: rakencloud.net failed to connect on 443 after 21s — so the API is currently broken in practice, not just rate-limited. Speed-limited downloads. Anonymous uploads allowed without X-AU |
| Limits |
500 MB per file for anonymous/private; larger downloads require a registered account. Retention: 1 month inactive for unregistered, 3 months registered, 5 months premium. TTL grows with downloads/plays. |
| 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 |
| Interface | rest rest |
| Tooling | Documented API: GET /api/server/available returns {url, serverAccessToken}; POST {url} multipart with serverAccessToken (+ optional X-AUTH-TOKEN for account uploads). |
| Composes with | Anonymous uploads allowed without X-AUTH-TOKEN, so unlimited identities x 500 MB/file. 500 MB per file is the binding constraint; you would shard. |
| Reliability | The upload nodes themselves were unreachable — hs6/hs7/hs12.krakencloud.net failed to connect on 443 after 21s — so the API is currently broken in practice, not just rate-limited. Speed-limited downloads. |
