Note that you can only egress as much as you have stored in total per month with Wasabi. So if you've stored 10GB on Wasabi, you're only allowed to egress 10GB each month. So yes, really depends on your access patterns.

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.
