Free tier	393,216 bytes per paste (measured). 373,336 chars -> 201 Created; 426,668 chars -> 206 Partial Content with 393,216 bytes stored. unit mixed; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	free direct GET, plain text, no metering.
Identity	anonymous derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: ished); no expiry documented; DELETE requires only the URL. anonymous-dump
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 rest
Tooling	curl --data-binary @file https://paste.rs/ returns the URL on stdout; DELETE /<id> works; documented shell function for .bashrc. No wrapper ecosystem needed.
Composes with	unlimited pastes x 384 KiB. 1 TiB = ~2.7M pastes. Only useful if an encoder pipeline is allowed to fan out aggressively; otherwise a control-plane store.
Reliability	Silent truncation: it returns 206 Partial Content rather than an error, so a naive client will believe the full object was stored. Docs also state pasting is heavily rate limited.
Notes	393,216 bytes per paste (measured). 373,336 chars -> 201 Created; 426,668 chars -> 206 Partial Content with 393,216 bytes stored.
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
Checked	2026-10-21 (inherited); stale on 2026-11-04
