Free tier	No quota at all — relay operators cap themselves with -global-rate (commonly ~20 Mbps in and out). The pool is anonymous and unvetted. unit unlimited; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	Free. Paid for by whoever runs each relay, not by a company with a budget.
Identity	anonymous anonymous
Limits	per-ip-shaping 20 Mbps source Per-relay bandwidth set by the operator; sessions per client and per relay are limited. Relays can vanish without notice.
Binding	per-ip-shaping one stream is shaped, and a user's throughput is the shaped rate times the number of streams
Interface	unknown relay:// protocol on 22067; the pool is a JSON endpoint.
Tooling	strelaysrv; Syncthing's own relay selection.
Composes with	Relay is only used until a direct connection is established; Syncthing then switches to direct and the relay carries nothing.
Reliability	The pool endpoint returns dozens of `relay://IP:22067` entries with self-signed device IDs. No accounting means no sustainability, but also no gate.
Notes	No quota at all — relay operators cap themselves with -global-rate (commonly ~20 Mbps in and out). The pool is anonymous and unvetted.
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
