Discord isn’t exactly known for generous file-sharing limits, still, the messaging app offered a 25MB limit to free users. The company has now updated its support page to reflect the upload limit for free users has been lowered to 10MB.

Discord has ~1,000 employees… let’s say 0% remote (heh, is it 100% or what?)
Avg of ~65% of employees (650 employees) drink coffee
Average of 3 cups of coffee per day per employee
260 work days per year

Cups per year:

650 employees x 3 cups per day x 260 work days = 507,000 cups per year
For medium-sized office of 100 employees, cost of a turnkey delivery service is $15,000/yr ($0.68/cup)

So for Discord:

$0.68 per cup x 507,000 cups per year = $344,760 per year
