The 10 TB bills use the calculator's standard workload: 10 TB kept, 1 TB downloaded in a normal month and all 10 TB downloaded in the month you restore. Both bills in a row are for the class named under the vendor: its cheapest complete normal month that is ready to download within 12 hours, or, where none is, its cheapest complete bill with the reason beside it. "No complete bill" means a charge the bill needs is not published or not yet in our checked data; the provider page names it. "Storage" is that class's published rate per TB of 1,000 GB (rates published per GiB are converted), except Wasabi's, shown as Wasabi publishes it, per TB of 1,024 GB; the sort uses the like-for-like rate. Every class of every vendor is on its own provider page and in the calculator. "Not checked yet" for Object Lock means our price check has not confirmed it either way.
