Traffic overage fees for public cloud?

kerestell

I'm currently running into a situation where I'm risking going above my traffic limits, but I'm still well within the CCU counts. I'm working on some optimization at the moment, so hopefully this is less of an issue longer term, but in the meantime I would like to get some clarity on overage fees for my Public Cloud account. I'm a little confused by the listed amounts:



The costs look fair to me, but the part where it says "The traffic included is 3 GB per Plan CCU. No further traffic can be used. Overage fees do not apply." is really confusing me. Does this mean I actually can't go over the traffic limit? Do I need to bump it up to the next subscription level? Is this a mistake, or is there something else that's going on?

In case anyone was wondering, I went above the traffic limit, and wasn't cut off! So it looks like overage fees are in fact a thing.

Markus

Yes, we do not cut off by default (same as with CCU burst).

Nice game you have built there - quite unique.
And looking into optimization is always a good idea, yes.
Will reach out to you in the next days.

Yeah, I was kind of blind sided by the amount of people. I'm going to be adding some network culling as soon as possible, which should help a ton.
