Am I charged for Duplicate Images?

I noticed on the support forum that cloudinary detects duplicate images using an etag parameter. If I upload the same image to cloudinary many times, will I be charged again for each upload as if they were different images?

  Cloudinary indeed provides an MD5 signature of every uploaded image, which is returned in the upload response over the etag parameter. Please note that the etag parameter only returns after you've already uploaded the image, so while this can be later used for identifying identical images, during the upload process Cloudinary do not use it to check for duplicates.
  Cloudinary does check for public ID duplicates, while the default behaviour is to override the existing resource if a new one, with the same public ID, is uploaded. You can set overwrite to false to bypass this behaviour.
