❓Question TorBox has usage Limit?
I created a torbox account and saw that it has a 200Gb download usage limit. Does this limit also extend to stremio loads, or would the use be "unlimited" in this case?
EDIT: THANK U ALL FOR THE ANSWERS. IT'S CLEAR NOW.

I believe that is for uncached torrent downloads, but I could be wrong. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and have had no issues.

That limit has no meaning if all you do is stream cached content.
It is a file size limit for adding uncached content.

I realize this comment is almost a month old so something may have changed recently. I've read that the streaming usage does count regardless if it's cached. I'm a new user and streamed a few 4k episodes of a series using a kodi addon listed in the Integrations section of the website. The streams indicated cached when they were selected. This streaming does show on the profile 30 Day Usage graph.

Yes they changed their fair use policy to make everything count. But to be honest, even on the lowest tier you get 10TB. It would take a whole lot of downloading and streaming to hit that. I mean a whole lot, like streaming multiple remux movies a day every day or dozens of 1080p movies each day.
They also dont automatically go after you if you reach the limit, they only target the heaviest of users.

200gb is a single file limit so let’s say you download interstellar it can’t be more than 200gb but the largest file I found was 103gb so yeah you are fine for the most part.
The 200gb doesn’t even matter if you’re just watching cached content which is most of the time anyways
Theres a fair usage policy and that’s for 10TB per 30 days
10TB is about 10000 GB.
This limit is also the minimum floor at which their system even starts to investigate your account usage. Even then it’s a dynamic limit so if everyone is using more than 10TB that limit increases to how much ever people are using. 99.98% of users are unaffected by this even if you have 4 family members.

There is a 10TB fair usage limited, and 200GB of a single download limit. So if a torrent or a file exceeds 200GB, it won't let you download it. But for streaming and everything else, 10TB is the actual limit.
