Usage
Disk and bandwidth overages and how they are billed
Exe.dev grants all active subscriptions a set amount of disk space and bandwidth. On an individual subscription, this allowance is shared across all your VMs. On a team subscription, each member gets their own allowance, shared across their VMs
As you use your VMs to run applications, they will start consuming the allocated disk space and bandwidth. Once you exceed those allocations, we will start charging you for overages.
When your subscription renews at the end of the billing cycle, we will also charge you for the previous period’s overage. These charges appear on the same invoice.
## Disk
Extra storage is calculated in GiB-months. One GiB-month represents 1 GiB of extra storage used for one full monthly billing cycle.
Extra storage usage can fluctuate during a billing cycle, especially for short-lived VMs or workloads that create and delete large amounts of data. To account for this, exe.dev bills for average extra storage usage over time, not peak usage.
For example, if a VM was active for 10 days of a 30-day billing cycle and averaged 100 GiB of extra storage during that time, exe.dev would bill:
100 \* 10 / 30 \= 33.33 GiB-months
So the billable extra storage usage would be 33.33 GiB-months, not 100 GiB-months.
## Bandwidth
Unlike disk usage, which fluctuates, bandwidth is a running total—all inbound and outbound traffic across your VMs, accumulated over the billing cycle.
At the end of the billing cycle, we look at how much **outbound** bandwidth was used relative to what’s included in your plan. Outbound bandwidth is any traffic that leaves exe.dev’s infra.
