Hi @ablightmed,

Yes, you are able to see the bandwidth of each Droplet individually. To do so, you can go to your Control Panel. From there click on the Droplet you want to see the bandwidth of.

Once the page loads, you’ll see a graph of the bandwidth your Droplet has used. You have statistics for the past hour, past 6 hours, past 24 hours, past 7 days and past 24 days.

To check the current follow these steps:

  • Log in to your DigitalOcean Control Panel
  • Then click on ‘Billing’
  • Scroll a bit down until you get to the ‘Droplet transfer’ section
  • There you will be able to see the Estimated Droplet Transfer Pool and the current status

In case this is helpful, here is how the usage works:

Outbound data transfer is shared between your Droplets each billing cycle. If the outbound transfer exceeds the amount included with your Droplets at end of the cycle, you will be charged $0.01 per excess gigabyte.

Hope that this helps!
