I am downloading Sentinel-2 L1C and L2A data from AWS public datasets, transferring approximately 1TB of data monthly from AWS to my office. According to the "Requester pays" policy, I should be charged for "data transfer fees from AWS to the internet".

However, the AWS bill I received does not include this charge. Specifically, the data transfer metrics for the Frankfurt region show 0GB.

My question is: Are users no longer required to pay data transfer fees? Has Planet assumed responsibility for these costs? Thank you.

Additionally, my download command is: aws s3 cp requester s3://sentinel-s2-l2a/... The download succeeds without adding "--request-payer" to the command.

Hi ​@wind,

Thanks!


Hi,thank you very much for your response.

The data I am currently downloading is S2 L2A data, such as this path: s3://sentinel-s2-l2a/tiles/50/P/QV/2021/7/14/0.

However, I still have not received any AWS charges related to this data download. What might be the reason for this? Thank you.
