Note on Long-Term Storage Usage

Long-term (cold) storage classes are not supported. If you decide to use these classes, you are responsible for all transitions and selection of long-term storage classes. We are also not responsible for the user's manipulations with the storage and for the costs associated with these operations.

• Long-term storage classes (e.g., S3 Glacier, Azure Archive) may result in extended retrieval times (up to 48 hours for AWS Glacier).
• Retrieval costs may apply. The user assumes responsibility for selecting long-term storage classes and associated fees.
