See how much traffic your services carried

The Usage & limits page answers one question: how much traffic did DedNets carry for you, and which services carried it. Pick a range, and the page draws a bar per bucket, stacked by service, with your monthly quota underneath. (Redesigned in v0.14.8; 30- and 90-day ranges since v0.14.9.)

Read the summary

At the top of the page:

• The range - Last hour, Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, Last 30 days or Last 90 days. Seven days is the default; 90 days is the longest, because 90 days is exactly how much history the Console keeps.
• Total / In / Out - switch what the bars measure. In is traffic arriving at your services, Out is what they sent back (for a web app, most of it).
• The headline - everything the range carried, with the change against the previous period. The 90-day range shows no percentage, because there is no earlier period left to compare it against.
• The chart - one bar per bucket: five minutes per bar over an hour, two hours over a day, a day over a week or a month, a week over 90 days. Each bar is stacked by service, biggest at the bottom. Bars a day or longer are whole UTC days, the same days your monthly quota is counted in, and the breakdown says so.
• Top services - the same services ranked, each in the colour it wears in the chart. Hover one to light up its band in every bar.

See one day, service by service

Hover a bar (or tap it on a phone) to open its breakdown: every service that carried bytes in that bucket, largest first, the bucket’s total, and how it split between in and out. The heading names the exact range the bar covers, so a bar on the weekly chart tells you what it means by “9/11”.

On a touch screen the breakdown opens as a panel under the chart rather than floating over it, so it never hides the bars you are comparing.

Five services are coloured individually; everything else is summed into Other services, which the breakdown still names and counts. If you want a single service in detail, open it on the Services page - its pane draws the same metered traffic for that service alone.

What the numbers count

Every figure on this page is metered traffic: bytes that passed through DedNets itself. That means:

• HTTP served through the DedNets edge (your *.dednets.com URLs and any custom domain fronted by the edge), and
• mesh traffic that was relayed, because the two machines could not reach each other directly.

It does not include traffic on a direct (hole-punched) path between your own machines, a gateway port you publish from your own host, or a proxy port. Those never pass through the Console, so it has nothing to count. Your real byte totals are therefore at least what this page shows, and usually more.

Per-service traffic and your quota

Under the summary, the table lists every service with two scales side by side: In / Out / Total for the range you picked, and Last 90 days - everything the Console still holds for that service. A service that was busy last month and idle this week shows real 90-day bytes next to a zero for the range. Sort by any column; on a phone each row becomes a card.

How long the numbers last

The Console keeps 90 days of metered traffic and nothing older. There is no all-time total: a day older than 90 days is not archived somewhere, it is deleted, and every figure on this page falls as old days age out. Minute-level detail is kept for 8 days - long enough for the hour, day and week charts - and the longer ranges are drawn from one figure per service per day.

If you need a longer record, export what you need before it ages out: the same numbers are available from the API (GET /api/v0/services/traffic, which also reports its own retention_days).

The strip under the summary shows what you have spent of your monthly data transfer quota, and the Account limits card at the bottom of the page shows the rest of your quotas - public hostnames, custom domains, gateway ports and connected hosts. A quota you are not capped on shows ∞. Going over a quota refuses new connections; flows already running keep running.

Quotas and traffic are per account. If you are an admin, this page still shows only your own traffic - the platform-wide view lives in the admin area.
