Tell HN: Changes to Bitbucket Cloud's Free Tier
• Snippets and downloads: these features will no longer be available for free workspaces.
• Pipelines logs: the retention period for Pipelines logs will be reduced to 90 days. Who is impacted? These limits will only be applied to Bitbucket workspaces that are on a Free plan. If you are part of a Paid workspace (i.e., on either Bitbucket's Standard or Premium plan), your workspace is not impacted by these changes. How do I know if I'm exceeding the new limits? Go to Workspace settings → Plan details → Workspace storage used. If your Free workspace is currently exceeding these limits, we encourage you to consider upgrading to one of our paid plans. If you do not reduce the size of your workspace or upgrade your plan, your workspace and its content will be put in read‑only mode on April 28, 2025. You will have to make sure your workspace is within the new storage limit if you want to remain on your Free plan. If you are currently using the Downloads feature to download and save artifacts in your workspace, we recommend using a third party artifact management service instead. You can leverage our Pipelines Pipes integrations to easily publish software artifacts to common platforms such as npm, PyPi, Maven, and jFrog. Furthermore, free repositories that have not been accessed or pushed to for more than three months may be archived before April 28, 2025. An archived repository will not be immediately accessible by end users; however, there will be a self‑serve process for the repository admins to restore the repository if they so choose. Why are we making these changes? By continuing to optimize our plans to improve security and performance and better support larger teams, we can provide a more secure experience for all our users. We remain committed to supporting all our customers and offer special plans for startups, academic institutions, and open‑source projects. We appreciate your partnership and support as we make these necessary adjustments.
