**Usage is calculated in binary Gigabytes (GB), where 1 GB = 230 bytes. This unit of measurement is also known as Gibibyte (GiB), defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Similarly, 1 TB is 240 bytes, i.e. 1,024 GBs.
New Plans FAQ
Subscription
What kind of entitlement do the subscription plans offer?
What kind of users are required to pay for the subscription?
The customer is required to pay for the total number of authorized users to a paid subscription plan. Customers have the flexibility to adjust the actual users in the system to access the products as long as the total number of authorized users is consistent with the paid user count.
Are users required to authenticate for accessing all of the products?
How do we get access to all of the products included in the subscription plans?
Once a subscription is active, Docker will automatically provision and activate the account for the customer to access each of the products. Detailed instructions for accessing different products will be updated on November 15th, 2024.
Can I disable certain products or services of my subscription?
Yes. By default, once the subscription is active, the users of a subscription plan will have access to all products. At the same time, the owners or admins of a subscription plan can disable a service in the admin console. Detailed instructions for disabling services will be updated on November 15th, 2024
Who’s required to pay for Docker subscription plans?
For small companies with fewer than 250 employees AND less than $10M in revenue, Docker will continue to offer free usage of Docker Desktop only under a coming program.
I am part of a “Free Team” plan, what am I eligible for?
Billing
Can I pay for the subscription plan and specific product consumption with an invoice?
Docker Team and Docker Business customers with 25 or more Users may purchase annual plans with an invoice by contacting sales.
For business subscription plan customers, Docker’s Sales team can also assist you in pre-purchasing consumption-based products (Build Cloud minutes, Scout Repos, Testcontainers Cloud runtime minutes, and Hub consumption) with an invoice.
Do I get an invoice for the on-demand consumption?
For the sale-led purchase, an invoice will be issued to the customers at the end of the monthly billing cycle when on-demand consumption is incurred.
Docker Hub
For general Docker Hub documentation, visit https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/. The questions below are focused on the announced Docker Hub limits that will take effect on February 1, 2025
I received communications that my "current Docker Hub usage may cause me to exceed the Docker Hub plan limits," what does this mean?
All billing contacts and/or organization owners who may be affected by the upcoming Docker Hub image pull and storage limits were sent a communication. You may have received this because of the following reasons related to your current plan’s upcoming entitlement limits for Docker Pro, Team, or Business plans:
-
Your average Hub image pulls are over your specific plan’s upcoming entitlement limits for Docker , Pro, Team, or Business plans.To check your image pulls usage, visit Docker Hub Usage Dashboard (preview).
And/or
-
You may have more private repos in Hub storage than your plan limits.
In many cases, these are legacy project repos that can be updated or removed, and will bring you within the allocated entitlements. Regularly audit and remove untagged, unused, or outdated images by deleting the associated repositories. We will be adding more usage monitoring dashboards and capabilities to view your storage usage in the coming months before the storage enforcement date.
Finally, many users have multiple accounts in Docker. If you have received communications, please check both your personal and organizational accounts’ usage.
What is the definition of “an image pull”?
How do Image pull rate limits work?
Anonymous and Docker Personal users using Docker Hub will experience rate limits on image pull requests. For authenticated Users, there is a 40 pull/hour rate limit per User; for unauthenticated usage, there is a 10 pull/hour rate limit per IP address.
For more information on image pull rates and how to manage and optimize your usage, please visit https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/download-rate-limit/, which will be updated on November 15th, 2024 with this corresponding set of changes.
How is the image pull being calculated across all users accessing both public and private repositories?
Docker counts image pulls from every User or any automated system that is part of a Docker Hub organization. The consumption is calculated by aggregating pulls from all users of all organizations which are part of a subscription plan.
The included image pull count is also applied at the subscription level towards all usage across all users of all Hub organizations under a subscription plan.
How is storage usage being calculated?
The subscription plan has restrictions on the storage space used by all private repositories under a subscription plan.
Private repository storage billed in a month is based on the storage used throughout the month per namespace. We measure your storage usage in “TimedStorage-ByteHrs,” which are accumulated throughout the month to determine your monthly charges. The total hours are calculated based on the actual number of days in the month. Any storage usage beyond the included amounts in each subscription tier will be charged at an on-demand rate.
For more information on storage space usage, please check out the Hub documentation page on November 15th, 2024.
How do I pay for the consumption of image pull and storage?
For customers who have not yet pre-purchased additional capacity and exceed the limits of their subscriptions, on-demand charges will apply automatically. These charges are at a slightly higher rate than pre-purchased capacity.
When does the purchased consumption expire?
How do I know how much to buy for the consumption of image pull and storage?
Review Your Current Usage
- Monitor usage in real-time: Docker Hub provides a dashboard where you can track your current usage of image pulls and storage. This dashboard will show you how many image pulls have been made and how much storage has been used relative to the limits of the plan.
Estimate Future Needs
- Analyze historical data: Look at usage patterns over the past few months to estimate how much will likely be needed in the future. If your usage is increasing, plan for higher consumption.
- Consider upcoming use cases: If you have new projects or expect increased activity, factor that into your estimates for future consumption.
Plan for Peak Usage
- Account for peak periods: If your usage varies significantly (e.g., you have peak periods of activity), consider buying more to cover these times without exceeding your limits.
Calculate Additional Needs
- image Pulls: If you know your average number of pulls per month and anticipate an increase, calculate the difference between your expected usage and your current plan’s limit. Purchase additional pulls in increments that match or slightly exceed this difference.
- Storage: Calculate how much additional storage you’ll need based on the size of your repositories and any new content you plan to store. Buy storage in increments that align with your expected growth.
Do I get an alert when I am over the limit of purchased consumption?
Email alerts will be available when Hub pricing goes into effect. The Hub organization owners and admins will be notified when approaching the included usage limits, and also when approaching a certain percentage of the purchased consumption (for example, 80%, 90%, or 100% of total purchased consumption).
The in-product notification will also be available to provide similar alert information, and it will come at a later time after the initial launch of the new pricing.
Can I still pay for a Service Account?
As of November 15th, 2024, Docker will no longer offer Service Accounts as an add-on. Existing Service Account agreements will be honored until their current term expires, but new purchases or renewals of Service Accounts will not be available and customers will need to renew under a new subscription plan.
Docker recommends transitioning to Organizational Access Tokens (OATs), which can provide similar functionality under the new pricing model.
Can I still buy the IP Allowlist offering?
Existing contracts will be honored, and any new purchases need to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Docker will work with customers to find suitable alternatives for their use cases where possible.
Do I still have access to the Autobuild service?
What will the impact be to Docker Sponsored Open Source (DSOS)?
The Docker Sponsored Open Source program will continue on as is, including all resources described in the docs page: https://docs.docker.com/trusted-content/dsos-program/
A key benefit of our DSOS program has always been fewer restrictions on rate limits for those projects that qualify. This will continue to be the case and we will be expanding DSOS resources to ensure ongoing coverage as new projects become popular.
Looking to apply to join DSOS? The program is ideal for developers working on projects without a path to commercialization: https://www.docker.com/community/open-source/application/

Docker Scout
For complete Docker Scout documentation, visit https://docs.docker.com/scout/. The questions below are focused on the announced November 2024 plan changes.
What is a “Scout-enabled repository” and how are they counted?
The Scout-enabled repository is a metric that reflects the maximum number of repositories at any given time throughout the subscription period. “Scout-enabled repositories” are counted based on the total number of Scout-enabled repositories under a Docker subscription plan.
For more information, see https://docs.docker.com/scout/explore/analysis/
How do I pay for additional Scout-enabled repositories?
Can I use more than what I paid for?
How do I know how much I have used?
Please visit https://scout.docker.com/settings/repos. The repositories view provides real-time data on how many Scout-enabled repositories you have used compared to your plan’s limit.
I currently have more repos enabled than my limit, what will happen to them?
If you currently have more repositories enabled for Docker Scout than your subscription limit allows, there is a modal within scout.docker.com that will prompt you to upgrade your plan to a Team or Business plan for unlimited repo analysis.
Can I disable the Docker Scout product access to the organization?
Docker Testcontainers Cloud
For complete Testcontainers Cloud documentation, visit https://testcontainers.com/cloud/docs/. The questions below are focused on the announced November 2024 plan changes.
What is the definition of “worker minute”?
How do I pay for additional runtime minutes?
Can I use more than what I paid for runtime minutes?
Customers with pre-purchased minutes can go over their prepaid consumption. When this happens, you will receive an additional invoice at the end of the monthly billing cycle, with the outstanding amount due for additional seats or minutes.
When does the purchased consumption expire?
How do I know how much I have used?
- Users can see the estimated usage on the https://app.testcontainers.cloud/dashboard/billing page
- We send monthly invoices that contain the number of worker minutes/seats used in the previous month.
Can I disable the Docker Testcontainers Cloud products access to the organization?
