Vercel Sandbox Now Calculates Snapshot Storage Costs Daily

What shipped

Vercel Sandbox switched Snapshot Storage billing to a daily calculation — every charge now maps to the storage you actually held that day, instead of a coarser averaging period.

What changed

Snapshot Storage is metered once per day and each day's charge reflects that day's footprint. The rate itself is unchanged: $0.08 per GB-month, the same price Vercel quotes for snapshot storage in Sandbox's usage-based pricing. The change is purely in when and how precisely usage is computed, and it applies automatically to existing projects.

Why a builder cares

Daily metering makes short-lived snapshot spikes — scaling a sandbox up for a benchmark, cloning a dev environment for a day — bill for exactly what was held, not a blended monthly average. Cost becomes predictable per day and easier to attribute to specific work sessions.
