| 2 | +title: Fair Use Policy |
| 3 | +--- |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +> Effective Date: May 15, 2025 |
| 6 | +
|
| 7 | +## Overview |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +This outlines storage limits for Subgraphs that rely solely on [Edge & Node's Upgrade Indexer](/subgraphs/upgrade-indexer/). This policy is designed to ensure fair and optimized use of queries across the community. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +To maintain performance and reliability across its infrastructure, Edge & Node is updating its Upgrade Indexer Subgraph storage policy. Free usage tiers remain available, but users who exceed specified limits will need to upgrade to a paid plan. Storage allocations and thresholds vary by feature. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +### 1. Scope |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +This policy applies to all individual users, teams, chains, and dapps using Edge & Node's Upgrade Indexer in Subgraph Studio for storage and queries. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### 2. Fair Use Storage Limits |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +**Free Storage: Up to 10 GB** |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Beyond that, pricing is variable and adjusts based on usage patterns, network conditions, infrastructure requirements, and specific use cases. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Reach out to Edge & Node at [info@edgeandnode.com](mailto:info@edgeandnode.com) to discuss options that meet your technical needs. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +You can monitor your usage via [Subgraph Studio](https://thegraph.com/studio/). |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### 3. Fair Use Limits |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +To preserve the stability of Edge & Node's Subgraph Studio and preserve the reliability of The Graph Network, the Edge & Node Support Team will monitor storage usage and take corresponding action with Subgraphs that have: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +- Abnormally high or sustained bandwidth or storage usage beyond posted limits |
| 32 | +- Circumvention of storage thresholds (e.g., use of multiple free-tier accounts) |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +The Edge & Node Support Team reserves the right to revise storage limits or impose temporary constraints for operational integrity. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +If you exceed your included storage: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +- Try [pruning Subgraph data](/subgraphs/best-practices/pruning/) to remove unused entities and help stay within storage limits |
| 39 | +- [Add signal to the Subgraph](/subgraphs/developing/publishing/publishing-a-subgraph/#adding-signal-to-your-subgraph) to encourage other Indexers on the network to serve it |
| 40 | +- You will receive multiple notifications and email alerts |
| 41 | +- A grace period of 14 days will be provided to upgrade or reduce storage |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Edge & Node's team is committed to helping users avoid unnecessary interruptions and will continue to support all web3 builders. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +### 4. Subgraph Data Retention |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Subgraphs inactive for over 14 days or Subgraphs that exceed free-tier storage limits will be subject to automatic data archival or deletion. Edge & Node's team will notify you before any such actions are taken. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +### 5. Support |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +If you believe your usage is incorrectly flagged or have unique use cases (e.g. approved special request pending new Subgraph upgrade plan), reach out the Edge & Node team at [info@edgeandnode.com](mailto:info@edgeandnode.com). |
