What Secrets costs per field, read and write, with a worked example, and the quotas and limits that apply.
Pricing
- A destroyed version isn’t charged, and neither is a deleted secret’s. An enabled version is
charged until you destroy it, however old it is. Destroy versions you no longer need.
- Free: reading metadata (secrets, versions and grants), changing a secret’s description and
tags, deleting a secret, destroying a version, creating and revoking grants, every call that
returns an error, and the reads an EZGH product makes through a grant.
- There’s no free tier.
- A secret’s
fieldCount is the number of fields the secret is charged for now.
Example
20 secrets with 5 fields each, 2 enabled versions of each, in a month with 3 million reads and
10,000 writes:
Destroying the 20 old versions halves the stored fields to 100, which is $1.00 for a full month.
Rate limits
A request over a limit is 429 too_many_requests with a Retry-After header.
Reads by EZGH products through grants have their own limit and don’t use
yours.
Quotas
A create over a quota is 409 quota_exceeded, with the quota in the error. Destroying versions
or deleting secrets and grants frees their quota at once. See Service quotas to view
your quotas and request an increase.
