No, MinIO charges on usable capacity. The usable capacity is determined by the committed capacity in the commercial agreement. For example, if your commercial agreement is for 200 TiB and your cluster has 500 TiB we will charge you for 200 TiB (unless you exceed that amount). MinIO will work with you to select the optimal levels of capacity that is actually needed for your deployments and your capacity commitment will be based on that need. We offer increasing discounts for larger capacity commitments. MinIO will charge you for the pre-committed capacity for the duration of the contract.
