Isn't one way to get past this... increasing your data usage by 20x? If OP used less than a $1 a month, then if he uploaded $20 of junk data, he can get the 5% original data back "for free". Sure, it's $20, but it beats out $150+.
- imonabout 11y agoA better way would be if you had 20+ categories of data that are totally unrelated, like; your tax-stuff, your code, your diary from 1995-2010, ... Since these are very unrelated, you are not likely to need every one of at the same time, ASAP. Though it's hard for me to imagine having so many categories of unrelated, useful and important data.
- MereInterest 11y agoIt looks like it is even more complicated than that. You can get 5% out per month at no charge, but that it only if you spread it out across the entire month. The extra charges happen the first time you exceed 5%/30 in a single day.
