Temporary Storage Changes

June 26, 2026
Temporary storage limits are changing from 14 to 10 days.

The recent surge in demand for memory and storage components for data centers, driven by the recent AI boom bubble, has substantially increased the cost of compute and storage.

Unlike many of my competitors, which are responding to this problem with price increases, I'm taking the approach of finding ways to do more with less.

For this reason, starting from July 1st, the temporary storage will be reduced from 14 days to 10. This means that people will have 10 days, not 14, to download their results when processing outside the cloud platform. I don't expect this change to negatively impact existing workflows, but it will significantly reduce storage costs.

There will be no changes to the permanent cloud storage at this time.
