2026-09-22 — Quota pricing: pick your TB, flat rate, every tier

Every tier is now sold as a quota. You choose a size in whole TB (any size), pay a flat per-TB rate, and resize up or down whenever you like (prorated). The quota is a hard cap — writes past it return a clear quota error until you resize — so your bill never moves on its own. No meters, no overage charges. Vault already worked this way; now Standard does too.
Standard is $4.49/TB/mo annual prepaid, $4.99 monthly. About 15% of your quota stays on hot storage; data idle for 14+ days moves to tape and comes back hot within minutes when read. New pin-hot add-on ($3/TB/mo) for data that must never demote.
Egress allowances are keyed to your quota: Standard egress is free up to 0.5× your quota per month, then throttled rather than billed. Vault restores are free up to 1× your quota per month; beyond that they queue, never billed. (The old "3× stored" and "$2.99/TB" overage lines are gone.)
Performance tier is parked until after launch — it returns at $6.99/TB/mo. Until then, pin-hot on Standard covers always-hot needs.

Vault is now linear. The prepaid pack ladder (Vault1–Vault18) is gone; the tape-backed archive tier is simply $2.00/TB/mo annual prepaid or $2.55/TB/mo monthly, at whatever allocation size you want. 5 TB of tape archive is $10/mo billed yearly. Packs punished small archives and made you buy sizes you didn't need — linear pricing fixes both.
The limits, stated plainly (they're what make the price honest): one durable tape copy — we're the offsite leg of your 3-2-1; 30-day minimum per object; free restores up to 1× your stored bytes each month (run a restore drill monthly, free), then $2.99/TB; restored copies stay hot for 7 days. Never retrieval fees, never egress fees.
Founders slots. The first 100 TB sold go at $1/TB/mo, annual prepaid, 3–10 TB per account, lifetime rate, numbered slots. Hard-capped — when they're gone, they're gone.
Launch date is October 31, 2026.

Real documentation at /docs. Getting Started (signup to first upload in two minutes), a full rclone guide, and an honest FAQ covering pricing, trust, and the technical details. The interactive API reference moved to /docs/api and now carries the right name and support address.

The real stored.ge front page is live. Tier ladder (Vault archive → Standard → Performance), honest measured numbers, full pricing with the Vault packs, and a straight-answers section covering the questions most storage providers dodge. The old pre-launch placeholder page is gone.
The footer now links everything. Terms, privacy, acceptable use, DPA, GDPR, BAA, EU Data Act, the status page, this changelog, and abuse reporting — all reachable from the homepage at last.

Runtime feature flags. New capabilities now roll out flag-dark and get enabled per account, so early adopters can opt in before a feature is on for everyone. Kill-switches let us turn a misbehaving subsystem off in seconds — no redeploy, no downtime.
This changelog. Public, updated with every deploy. Entries credit the person who asked for the change.

Failed backend writes now fail loudly. If a storage backend rejects a write, the upload returns an error your client retries — data is never silently parked somewhere it doesn't belong.
Abandoned multipart uploads are reaped. Uploads idle for 48 hours are aborted automatically and their parts cleaned up, and a single upload's in-flight parts are capped at 50 GiB.

Dedup GC coherence. The nightly garbage collector, the dedup cache, and concurrent uploads can no longer race each other — shared chunks are reference-counted with database-level locking end to end.
Deploy auto-rollback. A deploy that fails its health check now rolls back to the previous binary automatically.
