Find Everything on the Traffic Tab

In the EDBB VPS Portal, open your VPS and switch to the Traffic tab. It shows the current cycle, auto-hydration settings, pool balance, and usage charts at a glance.

Read the Summary Card

  • Progress ring – % of your monthly allowance consumed.
  • Numerical usage – exact GB used vs. available.
  • Refill timer – when the allowance resets (matches your VPS renewal date).
Cumulative traffic chart Email alerts land at 80%, 90%, and 100%, but the portal indicator is the quickest way to spot high usage.

Inspect Daily & Cumulative Graphs

  • Hover over the bars to see each day’s combined ingress + egress in GB.
  • Use the cumulative chart to verify long-running jobs or unexpected spikes.

Manage Traffic Pool & Hydration

Manual and auto hydration tabs A — Traffic Pool
Shows the shared balance for your account. Click “Top up” to purchase more capacity when needed.
B — Manual Hydration
Select a block (+100 GB, +500 GB, +1 TB, +10 TB) and press Assign Traffic to add it instantly to the VPS.
C — Auto Hydration
Set a top-up size (e.g., +100 GB). When usage hits 99%, the chosen amount is assigned automatically. Check the status banner for the active rule.
All assignments are logged under Hydration log and Pool log.

What Happens at 100% Usage?

1

Grace & throttle

After a 5% grace buffer, the NIC is capped at roughly 64 kbit/s. The VPS stays online but feels slow.
2

Restore full speed

Assign pool traffic, upgrade the plan, or wait for the monthly refill—any of these actions lifts the throttle immediately.
3

Stay proactive

Monitor the Traffic tab and enable auto hydration if you run resource-heavy workloads. Always keep recent off-site backups in case you choose to wait for the reset window.
