What is "prepaid" meaning for storage?
Quick question
Docs mention that storage for images is "prepaid" in $5 per 100K images stored.
Does one have to manually buy them or does it just mean it will charge in $5 intervals (for lack of a better word).
I ask because there's hard limit mentioned and if app would get popular overnight users might be denied to upload until new 100k is bought which is kind of not great.

Solution
Postpaid means you pay for your usage at the end of the month. Prepaid means you pay ahead for what you want to use.
For Images, this means you pay for an amount you can use (see screenshot), and you can't go over without manually upgrading the amount.
