Downgrading Git Large File Storage

You can downgrade storage and bandwidth for Git LFS by increments of 50 GB per month.

Note

Enterprise accounts, and organizations owned by enterprise accounts, created after June 2, 2024, have access to the enhanced billing platform. Enterprises that participated in the public preview program also have access to the enhanced billing platform.

The enhanced billing platform offers better spending control and detailed visibility to help you understand your usage with more granular controls. See "Using the new billing platform."

When you downgrade your number of data packs, your change takes effect on your next billing date. For more information, see "About billing for Git Large File Storage."
