Hi, I would like to see bandwidth usage for Space but I can’t find where.

I can find monitoring for droplets or alerts but nothing with space bandwidth.

Thanks for your answer if you know.

Hi there,

Quick update here.

As per the release notes on August 1, 2024, you can now view Spaces bandwidth usage as the invoices now include a breakdown of bandwidth usage and cost per Spaces bucket.

If you have 100 or more Spaces buckets, you can only view this breakdown in the CSV version of the invoice. To view or download invoices, see the DigitalOcean Invoices billing page.

Hey there,

At the moment the only way to see if you have gone over the 1 TB bandwidth allocation is to look at your daily invoice and see if you’re incurring overage charges. I realize this isn’t ideal, and we’re looking at ways to make this information more visible and proactively available.

It looks like someone has had the same idea before and has posted it on our Product Ideas board. The best thing to do would be to head over and add your vote to it, as well as adding any additional information in the comments for exactly what you’d like to see implemented!

I just upvoted the idea as well!

Hope that helps!

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 ‘Spaces 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!
