Manage Realtime Peak Connections usage
What you are charged for#
Realtime Peak Connections are measured by tracking the highest number of concurrent connections for each project during the billing cycle. Regardless of fluctuations, only the peak count per project is used for billing, and the totals from all projects are summed. Only successful connections are counted, connection attempts are not included.
Example#
For simplicity, this example assumes a billing cycle of only three days.
| Project | Peak Connections Day 1 | Peak Connections Day 2 | Peak Connections Day 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project A | 80 | 100 | 90 |
| Project B | 120 | 110 | 150 |
Total billed connections: 100 (Project A) + 150 (Project B) = 250 connections
How charges are calculated#
Realtime Peak Connections are billed using Package pricing, with each package representing 1,000 peak connections. If your usage falls between two packages, you are billed for the next whole package.
Example#
For simplicity, let's assume a package size of 1,000 and a charge of $10 per package with no quota.
| Peak Connections | Packages Billed | Costs |
|---|---|---|
| 999 | 1 | $10 |
| 1,000 | 1 | $10 |
| 1,001 | 2 | $20 |
| 1,500 | 2 | $20 |
