DJI changing its free quotas policy for FlightHub 2 software

DJI is set to introduce major changes to its free quotas policy for FlightHub 2, the company’s drone fleet management cloud software. The updated rules, expected to take effect in November 2024, will impact how free quotas are allocated to organizations and devices, as well as the amount and validity of those quotas. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect…

Changes to free quota allocation

Under the new policy, free quotas will only be granted to organizations and devices when they are first bind a new device to FlightHub 2. Key points include:

  • One-time quotas for organizations: Organizations will receive free quotas only once. After an organization has claimed free quotas, adding new devices won’t earn additional free storage or usage time.
  • Single-time quotas for devices: Devices like DJI Docks or aircraft can only receive free quotas during their first binding. If a device is re-bound to a new organization, it will not receive free quotas again.

Standardized free quota benefits for FlightHub 2

DJI is also standardizing the amount of free quotas given, making it consistent across all device types:

  • 100GB storage: Every device will receive 100GB of storage space.
  • 5,000 livestream minutes: Users will have 5,000 minutes of live streaming time.
  • 3,000 mapping images: Devices will support 3000 mapping images.
  • 3-Month validity: The free quotas will expire three months after being issued.

The current policy will remain in place until the new one officially rolls out. You can continue using any existing resources until they are fully utilized or expire. DJI encourages users with questions or suggestions to reach out before the changes take effect next month.
