How Do I Estimate the Traffic Consumption?
By default, downstream traffic is billed:
Consumed traffic = Live video bitrate/8 x Length of a live stream x Average number of viewers
Traffic fee = Consumed traffic x Price per GB in the corresponding traffic tier
If 200 viewers watch a live stream (bitrate: 1 Mbit/s) for one hour, the consumed traffic is:
1/8 × 3600 (s) × 200 = 90,000 (MB) = 87.89 GB
If you use 87.89 GB of traffic from 00:00:00 to 01:00:00 on January 15 and the accumulated traffic in this month is 1 TB, you need to pay ¥19.8 (¥0.225 × 87.89).
By default, only output is billed. If the ratio between the number of live streams and number of viewers is greater than 1:50, input is also billed. The unit prices for input and output are the same. For example, if the upstream traffic is 10 GB and downstream traffic is 20 GB in a billing period, the traffic fee is ¥6.75 (¥0.225 x 10 + ¥0.225 x 20).
