## How use of {% data variables.large_files.product_name_short %} is measured

Each {% data variables.product.github %} account receives a quota of free bandwidth and storage for {% data variables.large_files.product_name_long %} ({% data variables.large_files.product_name_short %}). Any usage beyond the included amounts is billed to your account.

Previously, {% data variables.large_files.product_name_short %} billing used pre-paid data packs. These have been removed and replaced with metered billing and you only pay for what you actually use.

Each {% data variables.product.github %} account includes a quota of free bandwidth and storage for {% data variables.large_files.product_name_long %} ({% data variables.large_files.product_name_short %}). If you exceed this quota, what happens next depends on your {% data variables.large_files.product_name_short %} budget setting:

54

***Budget set to $0**: You are not charged for overages, but {% data variables.large_files.product_name_short %} usage is blocked for the rest of the calendar month. Usage resets on the first of the next month.

***Budget deleted**: There is no spending limit, and you are billed for all usage beyond the free quota.

***Storage:** Charges accrue continuously throughout the month based on hourly usage. Your accrued storage total resets to zero at the begining of each billing cycle.

{% data variables.large_files.product_name_short %} storage is calculated based on all {% data variables.large_files.product_name_short %} objects associated with a repository, regardless of when they were uploaded. Storage usage is only zero when no {% data variables.large_files.product_name_short %} objects are associated with the repository.
61
+
62
+
If you delete {% data variables.large_files.product_name_short %} objects partway through a calendar month, the storage usage for that month is not recalculated. Storage resets on the first of the following month.
