Processing Units and Storage Expiry
Two Separate Controls
- Processing units: consumed for download requests.
- Storage duration: determines how long produced imagery remains downloadable.
If storage expires, data may become unavailable even when processing units remain.
Credit Types
- Order credits (EUR): used to create orders.
- Processing units: used for downloads.
Storage Expiry Rule
By default, data produced in a month is retained through the end of the following calendar month.
This applies to both historical and recurring orders:
- Historical: produced data expires on that same rolling rule.
- Recurring: each month, older data expires on the same rule while new data continues to be produced.
Credits and storage are distinct timelines. Plan long-running workflows accordingly.
