Hi @zturky -

Your bandwidth allowance varies based on:

  1. How many Droplets you have running, and what size they are
  2. How long each Droplet is running

Most users never exceed their bandwidth allowance.

If you do exceed your bandwidth allowance, you are charged 1 cent ($0.01) per GB for overage.

For example, if you run a $10 Droplet for a month, it comes with 2000GB of bandwidth allowance. If you use 2,500 GB you will be charged an extra $5 on your invoice at the end of the month.

Here is a bandwidth tool to help you visualize and forecast bandwidth allocation and costs.
