Its not really a big change. Since the change in payout rates in July Egress and Audit/Repair traffic have accounted for about 18% of total payout rates. So while it may seem like a dramatic decrease to cut the bandwidth payouts by ⅔ the overall impact of this decrease on total payouts is only a 12% decrease.
Also, Why are you so lazy? Here are the new numbers:
This is the new payment schedule that will take effect as of December 1st, 2023 for all Satellites:
Current Rate | Rates as of Dec 1st | |
---|---|---|
Storage (per TB Mo) | $1.5 | $1.5 |
Egress (per TB) | $6.0 | $2.0 |
Audit/Repair (per TB) | $6.0 | $2.0 |
