# Usage and pricing
Source: https://docs.infraista.com/en/data-storage/object-storage/usage-and-pricing



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.

## See a bucket's usage [#see-a-buckets-usage]

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 [#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.

**See account usage** opens your organization's usage overview.
