Hi All:
I read https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/billing/bandwidth/
Also I read answer https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/details-on-bandwidth-billing-of-my-droplet
But still don’t understand why you make it so difficult. I don’t want any estimations, just write me how much I used.
I have Estimated Droplet Transfer Pool - 0.57 used of 613 GB. If I click “?” I see: You have accrued 42 GB of free data transfer…bla bla bla 613.
- What is 0.57?
- What is 42 GB?
- My limit is 1000 GiB (Why bother with your estimations?). Ok if I turned off my Droplet in a few days, and limit exceeds I understand you will charge me 0.01 per GB.

Heya,
-
“42 GB” = how much traffic passed through your Droplet so far.
-
“0.57 of 613 GB” = how much billable outbound transfer actually counts against your pooled allowance.
-
You don’t need to worry about the “estimation” parts — the only number that matters for billing is your “transfer pool usage.”
