Usage Billing
What's Billed
Bandwidth:
- Incoming requests
- Outgoing responses
- Static assets
- API calls
- WebSocket connections
Compute:
- CPU usage (per second)
- RAM usage (per second)
- Container runtime
Storage:
- Build artifacts
- Logs storage
- Database storage (if using managed databases)
Billing Calculation
Bandwidth:
Total bandwidth = Incoming + Outgoing
Overage = Total - Plan limit
Overage cost = Overage × $0.08/GB
Compute:
CPU cost = CPU cores × hours × $0.05/hour
RAM cost = RAM GB × hours × $0.01/hour
Total compute = CPU cost + RAM cost
Example:
Plan: Pro ($20/month)
Bandwidth used: 1.2 TB
Overage: 0.2 TB = 200 GB
Overage cost: 200 × $0.08 = $16
Total: $20 + $16 = $36
