Twilio Programmable Messaging — Media subresource Storage

fails: quotaemail?card?R

www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/api/media-resource · messaging · storage/twilio-programmable-messaging-media-subresource · JSON · compare

Free tier	No quota — media is retained indefinitely. The docs say Twilio 'retains the stored media until you delete the related Media subresource instance', i.e. retention is customer-controlled and unbounded in time. unit unlimited; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	No quota — media is retained indefinitely
Egress	Authenticated only, and Twilio says so outright: 'If you need to embed media in web applications without exposing your credentials, download the media files and serve them from your own server or cloud storage service.' No public URL, ever.
Identity	email (placeholder) not published
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	twilio-python / twilio-node; .media.list() and .media(sid).fetch(). Clean API, but nothing removes the auth requirement.
Composes with	5 MB per message is the wall. To reach 1 TB you need ~200,000 MMS, each billed per message — this is the opposite of a free tier. Retention is excellent and completely unusable at this scale.
Reliability	The best retention semantics in the slot (never expires unless you delete) ruined by a 5 MB message cap and per-message billing. Interesting only as proof that indefinite retention is commercially possible.
Notes	No quota — media is retained indefinitely. The docs say Twilio 'retains the stored media until you delete the related Media subresource instance', i.e. retention is customer-controlled and unbounded in time.
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
