Free tier	Free: 1 GB storage, 200 GB/month bandwidth, WebDAV and API on Free (WebDAV is listed on the Supporter table as a Free-tier feature). unit GB; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	200 GB/month soft bandwidth cap on Free: 'Don't worry—these are soft limits. Temporary surges are fine, we won't take your site down automatically'. 200 GB/month = ~6.6 GB/day, an order of magnitude short of the 500GB-1TiB/day fetch workload. free_allowance: 200 GB per month
Identity	institution derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: Free: 1 GB storage, 200 GB/month bandwidth, WebDAV and API on Free (WebDAV is listed on the Supporter table as a Free-tier feature). Bandwidth is internally enforced and will
Binding	none no constraint in the record binds at this scale; the record carries no limit of a kind the vocabulary names
Interface	rest, webdav, rclone, cli rest
Tooling	Documented REST API: POST /api/upload (multipart, Bearer API key), plus WebDAV and an official CLI; rclone has no neocities backend but the WebDAV mount covers it.
Composes with	1 GB per site x unlimited sites per account ('Multiple Site Creation' is listed as a free feature) x unlimited free accounts. 20 TiB = 20,480 sites — operationally absurd, so this only works as a shard for a small hot set, not the archive.
Reliability	Bandwidth is internally enforced and will throttle, not delete; static file serving goes through Cloudflare with a 300s edge cache.
Notes	Free: 1 GB storage, 200 GB/month bandwidth, WebDAV and API on Free (WebDAV is listed on the Supporter table as a Free-tier feature).
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
