If you have ~300 GB of RAM you should be able to plot directly in RAM.

Imagine a cloud provider has 300GB RAM. What if they plotted and let other people later download the plot?

On AWS, yes.

On Scaleway and Hetzner, there is unmetered 100Mbps bandwidth.

On Linode, Vultr, and DigitalOcean, there is a 1-month 1TB limit.
