| Composes with | The 1 TB/month included egress is the free slice: enough for 33 GB/day, matching Gcore. Its real use is as a *stable S3 origin* behind one of the free CDNs, not as the delivery path — $5/TB egress is good but Bunny's Volume tier matches it and CacheFly/Telnyx beat it. |

| Binding | volume-quota the 60-day expiry binds, not the volume: at 1 TiB a month the 60 days spend 2 TiB of an 18.2 TiB credit. At a user's volume the credit is nine times larger than the window it lives in. |

| Reliability | unused promo credit expires at 60 days; plans that bundle no transfer bill every outbound byte |
| Notes | Arithmetic: $100 over $0.005 a GB is 20,000 GB = 20 TB = 18.19 TiB in total, or 9.09 TiB a month across 60 days. If the rate is $0.01 instead the credit is 10,000 GB = 9.09 TiB total and 4.55 TiB a month, which still clears the test, so the verdict does not depend on which of the two rates is right. The included transfer is the second lever: a plan that bundles 20 TB a month makes the credit irrelevant at 1 TiB a month, and the pricing page confirms bundles run 'from 0 TB to 20 TB per month'. Candidates considered: the Akamai Free Tier products line, which the page mentions for Object Storage rather than compute. |
| Evidence rung | reported the $100 and 60 days come from an archived copy of Linode's own documentation; the current /lp/free-credit/ path returns 404 and the pricing page renders no credit line. The $0.005 overage rate is third-party. A current first-party page carrying both would raise this to documented |
