## Hidden costs and limits

- Internet egress fees ($0.0312-$0.162/GB depending on region) add up fast if you export query results to external dashboards or applications.
- Cross-region data transfer is billed separately. Multi-region architectures with replication can double or triple effective storage costs.
- Backups count toward storage costs and are billed separately.
- ClickPipes (managed data ingestion from Kafka, S3, etc.) is billed based on compute consumed during ingestion, which is not included in your base compute allocation.
- Auto-scaling can trigger unexpected bills. While you can set scaling limits, the default behavior is to scale up to meet demand. Without budget alerts configured, a spike in queries can cause a surprise bill.
- No permanent free tier. The 30-day trial with $300 in credits is generous but finite. After that, even a minimal idle service incurs storage charges.
