Committed 1024$0.65/Credit$1,024~1,575.38 credits$1,024.00

Result

For this sample, Committed 512 has the lowest estimated cost.

Committed 1024 fully covers the estimated usage, but Committed 512 is still lower in this scenario because the remaining usage after the included credits is billed as overage.

Caveat

Actual usage depends on exact file size, selected exchange, time range, request pattern, retries, and whether the download tool performs extra LIST, HEAD, or multipart GET requests.
