Traffic statistics and monthly refills - EDBB Docs

Open your VPS in the EDBB Control Panel and select the Traffic tab to review usage, the refill date and pool assignments.

EDBB Traffic tab overview

Understand the allowance

Current allowance = monthly Plan Traffic + Pool Traffic assigned during this cycle. Remaining traffic = current allowance − traffic used this cycle. Traffic usage counts both incoming and outgoing data measured on the VPS Ethernet interfaces. Use the units displayed by the panel when comparing readings.

Monthly refill

The VPS’s monthly service cycle determines its refill, not the calendar month. At the refill, usage resets and the EDBB plan allowance is replenished. Unused Plan Traffic and Pool Traffic already assigned to the VPS expire. Unassigned pool balance does not expire.

Daily usage and assignments

Use the daily and cumulative graphs to identify a spike and compare it with your jobs, downloads and logs. The Hydration log records assignments; those deductions do not prove the assigned traffic has already been consumed. See Traffic Pool.

Notifications and rate limiting

Threshold	Behavior
80% of current allowance	Informational email
90%	Warning, suppressed if Auto-Hydration is enabled and the pool can cover its next increment
99%	Auto-Hydration assigns the selected 100, 200, 300 or 500 GB if the balance is sufficient
Approximately 105%	About 64 kbit/s rate limit and an action-required notice

There is no automatic overage charge. To restore speed, assign pool traffic, complete a qualifying plan upgrade or wait for the monthly refill. See traffic limits.
