Hey @iljkr,

I don’t believe that this is currently possible but it sounds like an interesting idea.

The best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.

In the meantime what you could do is to setup Billing alerts so that you get early notifications when you reach a certain usage amount. You can do that via your Control Panel -> then go to Billing -> then under Billing Alerts hit the ‘Add Alert’ button.

Hope that helps!

While it isn’t possible to do this exactly you can reduce the traffic a few ways.

First you can use software like this.

To monitor and cut off traffic, also you could just close the ports being accessed via your firewall. These don’t stop traffic but they reduce it by a lot!

Also you could use compression and caching and sites like cloudflare to serve the site to reduce bandwidth and improve performance.
