How Do I View the Traffic Usage of My FlexusL Instance?

  1. Log in to the FlexusL console.
  2. Click the target instance name. On the Overview page, view the traffic usage in the Data Package area.
    • Expiration time: A FlexusL instance provides a monthly data package. The traffic quota included in the data package is reset each month. Any unused portion of the data package cannot be rolled over to the next month.

      For example, if you purchase a FlexusL instance for three months at 10:00:00 on June 5, the monthly data package will be valid from 10:00:00 on June 5 to 00:00:00 on July 6. In the next month, the data package will be valid from 00:00:00 on July 6 to 00:00:00 on August 6. In the last-month, the data package will be valid from 00:00:00 on August 6 to 00:00:00 on September 6.

    • Available: The remaining traffic in the monthly data package.
    • Used: The traffic volume that has been used in the current month.
    • Traffic usage: The traffic usage in the current month, which can be calculated using the following formula: Traffic usage = Used traffic/Total traffic volume in a data package

  3. (Optional) Click Buy shared data package.

    The excess outbound traffic out of the package will be billed by traffic and generate additional costs. You can purchase shared data packages of the dynamic BGP type to save costs. For details, see Buying a Shared Data Package.

    Select the dynamic BGP type for FlexusL instances. This is because only this type of data packages can deduct traffic generated by FlexusL instances.
