Usage and pricing
See how much a bucket stores, downloads and costs, read its metrics over time, and understand how Object Storage is billed by the hour.
Object Storage is billed by usage:
- Storage: what you store, measured every hour, per GB-month. Empty buckets are free.
- Egress: data downloaded from your buckets, per GB.
- Uploads and requests are free.
The current prices are on the Object Storage page under Pricing, and on the Create a bucket page. Old versions in a versioned bucket count as stored data until they're deleted.

A bucket's Overview shows what's Stored, the number of Objects, the price for a full month at this size, and the cost This month so far (Owners and Admins). Size and object count are measured regularly, so they can trail recent changes by a few minutes.
Metrics
The Metrics tab charts, for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or 90 days:
- Storage: data stored in the bucket;
- Egress: data downloaded from it, next to data uploaded;
- Requests: GET requests (downloads, listings and HEAD) and PUT requests (uploads, copies and deletes);
- Cost this month, projected for a full month.
