## Hidden costs and limits

- Unauthenticated pulls are limited to 10/hour per IP. In shared CI environments (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI runners), multiple teams share IP addresses and collectively hit limits. This causes unpredictable build failures.
- Free tier authenticated pulls are 40/hour. CI pipelines running 50+ builds/hour will hit this limit.
- Docker Scout vulnerability scanning is included but limited on free/Pro. Advanced scanning, policy enforcement, and remediation recommendations require Team or Business.
- Image storage is unlimited for public repos but private repo storage counts toward plan limits. Large images (ML models, monorepos) consume storage faster than expected.
- Docker Desktop requires a paid subscription (Pro/Team/Business) for companies with 250+ employees or $10M+ revenue. The Hub subscription is separate from Desktop licensing.
- Egress costs are hidden in the free tier. While Docker Hub does not charge egress directly, heavy pull traffic from automated systems can trigger rate limiting that effectively forces an upgrade.
