1What “kept only within plan or storage limits” means here

Storage limits cut both ways: the tool may remove content once a plan's limit is reached, and does not promise to keep it longer. A copy of the manuscript belongs somewhere else.

2Other tools with this reading

OpenArt and Pika have the same reading, which makes 3 of the 24 tools.

This is how the clause reads on its face; how a court would read it is a separate matter.

3Why it matters for a book

Deletion and licence are separate. Removing a project may end the copy the tool keeps for you without ending the licence already granted, and copies others made of public work stay where they are.
