{% note %}

Billing update for container image storage: The period of free use for container image storage and bandwidth for the {% data variables.product.prodname_container_registry %} has been extended. If you are using {% data variables.product.prodname_container_registry %} you'll be informed at least one month in advance of billing commencing and you'll be given an estimate of how much you should expect to pay. For more information about the {% data variables.product.prodname_container_registry %}, see "Working with the Container registry."

{% endnote %}

If you purchased {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} through a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, you can connect your Azure Subscription ID to your enterprise account to enable and pay for {% data variables.product.prodname_registry %} usage beyond the amounts including with your account. For more information, see "Connecting an Azure subscription to your enterprise."

Data transfer resets every month, while storage usage does not.

Product	Storage	Data transfer (per month)
{% data variables.product.prodname_free_user %}	500MB	1GB
{% data variables.product.prodname_pro %}	2GB	10GB
{% data variables.product.prodname_free_team %} for organizations	500MB	1GB
{% data variables.product.prodname_team %}	2GB	10GB
{% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}	50GB	100GB

All data transferred out, when triggered by {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}, and data transferred in from any source is free. We determine you are downloading packages using {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} when you log in to {% data variables.product.prodname_registry %} using a GITHUB_TOKEN.

Storage usage is shared with build artifacts produced by {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} for repositories owned by your account. For more information, see "About billing for {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}."

{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} charges usage to the account that owns the repository where the package is published. If your account's usage surpasses these limits and you have set a spending limit above $0, you will pay $0.25 USD per GB of storage and $0.50 USD per GB of data transfer.

For example, if your organization uses {% data variables.product.prodname_team %}, allows unlimited spending, uses 150GB of storage, and has 50GB of data transfer out during a month, the organization would have overages of 148GB for storage and 40GB for data transfer for that month. The storage overage would cost $0.25 per GB or $37. The overage for data transfer would cost $0.50 per GB or $20.

At the end of the month, {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} rounds your data transfer to the nearest GB.

{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} calculates your storage usage for each month based on hourly usage during that month. For example, if you use 3 GB of storage for 10 days of March and 12 GB for 21 days of March, your storage usage would be:

• 3 GB x 10 days x (24 hours per day) = 720 GB-Hours
• 12 GB x 21 days x (24 hours per day) = 6,048 GB-Hours
• 720 GB-Hours + 6,048 GB-Hours = 6,768 GB-Hours
• 6,768 GB-Hours / (744 hours per month) = 9.0967 GB-Months

At the end of the month, {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} rounds your storage to the nearest MB. Therefore, your storage usage for March would be 9.097 GB.

Your {% data variables.product.prodname_registry %} usage shares your account's existing billing date, payment method, and receipt. {% data reusables.dotcom_billing.view-all-subscriptions %}
