====== S3TA Pricing & “No charge if not faster” ====== **What it is:** The pricing rule and the special “no charge” behavior when S3TA won’t accelerate. **Key rule (quote-level idea, paraphrased):** * Each accelerated upload is evaluated; if it’s **not likely faster**, **no S3TA charge** is applied for that transfer, and S3TA may be bypassed. **What you still pay (common exam trap):** * Even if “transfer charges” are $0 in that scenario, you can still pay: * S3 **request** cost (PUT) * S3 **storage** cost (storing 3 GB) * (This question asked only about **transfer charges**.) **Hard words:** * *determine* /dɪˈtɝːmɪn/: xác định * *likely* /ˈlaɪkli/: có khả năng * *transfer charge* /ˈtrænsfɚ tʃɑːrdʒ/: phí truyền dữ liệu
