The Service's bandwidth limitations vary based on the features you use. If we determine your bandwidth usage to be significantly excessive in relation to other users of similar features, we reserve the right to suspend your Account, throttle your file hosting, or otherwise limit your activity until you can reduce your bandwidth consumption. We also reserve the right—after providing advance notice—to delete repositories that we determine to be placing undue strain on our infrastructure. For guidance on acceptable use of object storage in repositories, refer to "[What is my disk quota?](/github/managing-large-files/what-is-my-disk-quota)". For more details on specific features' bandwidth limitations, see the [GitHub Additional Product Terms](/github/site-policy/github-additional-product-terms).
