| Binding | retention-clamped a clock, not a quota: bytes leave whether or not the client is finished with them |
| Interface | unknown Creator UI + poe-api-wrapper (unofficial); server bots can accept attachments via allow_attachments |
| Tooling | poe-api-wrapper (unofficial Python), fastapi_poe for server bots |
| Composes with | 5 GB per bot, and bot creation is free and effectively unbounded, so each bot holds the same 5 GB allowance. That is the only axis on which the total grows, and it is a manual, per-bot upload loop. |
| Reliability | 5 GB per unit is below the brief's 500 GB floor unless a client takes advantage of the unbounded bot count. The read path is the bot's own retrieval, and no export of the uploaded corpus is documented. Rate limits differ per model. Recorded as an also-ran with a real but small number. |
| Notes | 5 GB or 30 million characters per knowledge base, combined across all sources of one bot. One knowledge base per bot. |
| Evidence rung | reported One page read moves it to documented. |
