> Wasabi storage costs a flat $.0039/GB/Month with a 1 TB minimum usage.

so the only "catch" is $3.90 a month minimum?

Not only. There is also minimum 90-day charge for objects. https://wasabi.com/pricing/pricing-faqs/

According to that, there is an extra "9" they didn't show, so $3.99 rather than $3.90.

So then if you deleted your 1TB each month, and uploaded new data, you'd be paying 3 times more due to the 90 day minimum charge, so about $12/month in the worst case.

That is to be expected for bottom-barrel prices, to make up for the cost of maintenance (GC / compaction / rebalancing / etc of data). They might just wait 90 days before doing the first compaction, or whatever their system does to delete data.

They're using 1TB as in 1024GB. 1024*$0.0039 = $3.9936

Traffic is horrible expensive :|
