I’ve read some question’s answers and I think I understood the Outbound data transfer, But in my account it’s less than 3TB (0.59 GB used of 1893 GB) … What I missed?
Thanks

Hi @HadyShaltout,
The fact that the Droplet was only created yesterday likely explains why you’re only seeing limited bandwidth available for it this month.
A $15 Droplet has 3TB of outbound bandwidth in a full month, and you accrue a percentage of that allowance each hour that the Droplet exists on your account in a month, up to the quoted cap (3TB).
So, if the Droplet was only created yesterday, it will only get ~17 days of the allowance for the month, or ~60% (17 * 24 / 672), which works out to just under 2TB, near the number being shown on your account.
Our bandwidth calculator tool lets you explore how the bandwidth allowance accrues the longer a Droplet is on your account in a month:
Hope that helps, - Matt.
