 Linode Object Storage allows for bucket versioning so that you can retain different versions of your objects within buckets. This makes it easy to save older versions of objects, as well as quickly revert to an object's previous state.

 Linode's Object Storage is a globally-available, S3-compatible method for storing and accessing data. Object Storage differs from traditional hierarchical data storage (as in a Linode's disk) and [Block Storage Volumes](https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/block-storage/). Under Object Storage, files (also called *objects*) are stored in flat data structures (referred to as *buckets*) alongside their own rich metadata.

 While deleting a few objects in an Object Storage bucket might not take that long, when the objects number in the thousands or even millions the time required to complete the delete operations can easily become unmanageable. When deleting a substantial amount of objects, it's best to use *lifecycle policies*. These policies can be represented in XML; here's an (incomplete) snippet of an action that will delete objects after 1 day:

 ## What is Object Storage?
 
 Object Storage is a method of storing data that differs in a number of ways from [Block Storage](/docs/platform/block-storage/how-to-use-block-storage-with-your-linode/). Block Storage splits files into small *blocks* of data. Minimal file metadata is stored alongside this data and, in general, descriptive metadata must be stored in a separate file or database. In order to use a Block Storage volume it must be attached to a host server, where it acts like a hard drive.

 Linode Object Storage offers affordable and full-featured cloud storage for unstructured data and static sites. This guide will outline Object Storage pricing, storage limitations, and data transfer quotas.
 
 ## Pricing
 
-Linode Object Storage has a prorated minimum monthly cost of $5, which provides 250 gigabytes of storage. If you use Object Storage for a fraction of the month you will be charged a fraction of the cost. For example, if you have Object Storage enabled for half of the month and use up to 250 gigabytes of storage you will be billed $2.50 at the end of the month. Each additional gigabyte of storage over the first 250 gigabytes will cost $0.02, and this usage is also prorated based on usage time.

 ## Storage Limitations
 
-Currently, Object Storage accounts are limited 10 terabytes of storage, or 100,000 objects, whichever comes first. Accounts can have up to 10 buckets.

 If you need to increase the storage limit, the object limit, or the bucket limit, please [open up a Customer Support ticket](https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/billing-and-support/support/#contacting-linode-support).
 {{</ note >}}
 
 ## Transfer Quotas
 
-Object Storage adds 1 terabyte of outbound data transfer to your data transfer pool. This 1 terabyte of transfer data is prorated. If you use Object Storage for half of a month, only 500 gigabytes of transfer data will be added to your monthly transfer pool. At this time, all outbound data, including data transfer to a Linode in the same data center, is billable. You are not charged for uploading objects (inbound traffic) to Object Storage. Any further outbound data is charged at a rate of $0.02 a gigabyte. For more information on network transfer pools, review our [Network Transfer Quota guide](https://linode.com/docs/platform/billing-and-support/network-transfer-quota/).

For more information on network transfer pools, review our [Network Transfer Quota guide](https://linode.com/docs/platform/billing-and-support/network-transfer-quota/).

+## Rate Limiting
+
+Users accessing Object Storage resources are limited to 750 requests per second, per bucket.

+The rate limits for Object Storage may be subject to change. This document will be updated to include any future changes.
