Thank you for pointing that out. I definitely hadn't internalized that point.

Sounds like it's a soft limit, so ok for backups. I normally pull about 100GB/month (just verifying files) on a 4TB backup set, so I don't usually hit this.

I do think this should be more clearly started in the pricing page, though.

The other gotcha with Wasabi is you pay for a minimum of 90 days of storage for each file (so if you upload, then delete it immediately, it's billed for 3 months regardless). This, again, is fine for backups for me, but definitely has made some early months where I was figuring out my backup strategy a bit more expensive than it might otherwise have been.
