| 13 | +When using Docker Hub, unauthenticated and Docker Personal users are subject to |
| 14 | +strict limits. In contrast, Docker Pro, Team, and Business users benefit from a |
| 15 | +consumption-based model with a base amount of included usage. This included |
| 16 | +usage is not a hard limit; users can scale or upgrade their subscriptions to |
| 17 | +receive additional usage or use on-demand usage. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +The following table provides an overview of the included usage and limits for each |
| 20 | +user type, subject to fair use: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +| User type | Pulls per month | Pull rate limit per hour | Public repositories | Public repository storage | Private repositories | Private repository storage | |
| 24 | +|--------------------------|-----------------|--------------------------|---------------------|---------------------------|----------------------|----------------------------| |
| 25 | +| Business (authenticated) | 1M | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Up to 500 GB | |
| 26 | +| Team (authenticated) | 100K | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Up to 50 GB | |
| 27 | +| Pro (authenticated) | 25K | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Up to 5 GB | |
| 28 | +| Personal (authenticated) | Not applicable | 40 | Unlimited | Unlimited | Up to 1 | Up to 2 GB | |
| 29 | +| Unauthenticated users | Not applicable | 10 per IP address | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable | Not applicable | |

| 36 | +## Fair use |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +When utilizing the Docker Platform, users should be aware that excessive data |
| 39 | +transfer, pull rates, or data storage can lead to throttling, or additional |
| 40 | +charges. To ensure fair resource usage and maintain service quality, we reserve |
| 41 | +the right to impose restrictions or apply additional charges to accounts |
| 42 | +exhibiting excessive data and storage consumption. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +### Abuse rate limit |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Docker Hub has an abuse rate limit to protect the application and |
| 47 | +infrastructure. This limit applies to all requests to Hub properties including |
| 48 | +web pages, APIs, and image pulls. The limit is applied per-IP, and while the |
| 49 | +limit changes over time depending on load and other factors, it's in the order |
| 50 | +of thousands of requests per minute. The abuse limit applies to all users |
| 51 | +equally regardless of account level. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +You can differentiate between the pull rate limit and abuse rate limit by |
| 54 | +looking at the error code. The abuse limit returns a simple `429 Too Many |
| 55 | +Requests` response. The pull limit returns a longer error message that includes |
| 56 | +a link to documentation. |
