Minimum Monthly Usage Fee for STORJ payment method?

So if you have STORJ token in your account, the $5 Minimum Monthly Usage Fee does not apply to account? That’s only for non Storj account balance depositers?

Please use search. This has been discussed already. Don’t expect others to do search for you.

Nice try bub. I see you don’t know the answer either.

:smirking_face:

It’s really challenging to find a clear answer. I’ve looked through documents, replies, forums, and so on, but most of it is filled with irrelevant junk that doesn’t address even the simplest questions.

IM QUITE CERTAIN, STORJ users who pay with token are above the rule.

The answer is on the page you linked. Literally. Did you read the page you linked?!

Here, screw that, I’ll read it for you:

  • If you pay with STORJ token, you will not be charged a minimum usage fee.

Still have questions?

Rephrasing:

If you have $5+ deposited with storj and your bill is less or equal than $5 — you won’t be charged.

Please RTFM, especially if you yourself liked to said FM

I didn’t read the entire page, just the one specific part and the first bullet… thanks for clarity!

OF COURSE it’s the last bullet!! Man…

maybe it was just updated? :smirking_face:

It was NOT just updated. Please do read our documentation’s sections about a specific subject you have questions about in its entirety before posting questions that are already answered there here on the forum. Thank you.

I think there is a space for an additional CAPTCHA-like requirement to register on the forum. Except, instead of detecting robots, it would detect people who attempt to ask questions that were already asked many times. Maybe a Completely Automated Public Test for Endlessly Cycling Historical Questions? CAPTECHO. Would consist of a rotating set of past questions answered by pointing to documentation or earlier posts.

The forum actually suggests similar topics when you try to create a new one, but doesn’t insist.

I was about to say the same thing, but then realized it would not help: if the user won’t read the documentation – they won’t read the side panel either. Everyone thinks their issues and ideas are unique and nobody else had them before, so many people don’t even try to search, they just assume they won’t find anything.

On the other hand, with prevalence of chatbots, getting answers to basic questions is much easier; those shall be the first place to look. The idea being – it’s often easier to validate the answer than it is to find one.

The forums will then become a fallback for truly interesting non-trivial discussions, those that language models are still struggling to tackle

example: Gemini 2.5 Flash

Or, for those who want others to read documentation for them:

I can't read, please you do it!

Maybe it’s cultural, but it was hammered into me that it’s a very bad form to ask a question without doing homework, because you would look very unprofessional and lazy if the answer has been on the surface and could have been found easily; it’s just rude to waste peoples’ time on such nonsense.

Same here. There are marketing forces at work here though. The 4chan/discord/facebook generation was trained by the sites they use: by making history hard to access, users are forced to generate traffic by asking same questions again and again. This leads to more eyeballs (site is alive!) and the dopamine effect through feeling useful/active by answering these trivial questions.

You can’t fight that.
