For Customers
So… Customers are not gonna be informed a few months before this comes into effect?
Isn’t that a dangerous move even though this fee is quite low?
I wouldn’t like that 
This fee is actually here since the launch of Gateway-MT and new pricing model. Just this fee is not applied to your bills. But you can see your segments usage in the billing and in the invoices since October 2021 (the first invoice by November 2021).
Storj should still notify users with an email and/or blog post about this since anything new in the bill will be assumed as “hey what are those new charges and why was I not notified before … where’s the transparency?”
Most users will be busy with family celebrating the holidays. They won’t be checking emails and new year with “extra” billing amount will not be a good start for them.
Even the documentation shows this.
This ^ page was edited 2 months ago.
The section of the docs you are quoting specifically mentions “With default usage limits” - which means Free Account, which still will not charge any segment fee after the upcoming changes. Admittedly the wording is not as clear as it should be here. The segment fee will only impact Paid Account users. This statement is therefore still correct.
We are aware that there are other sections of the docs that need to be updated regarding description of segment fee, and are working on getting this done asap.
