How to size an order#
Estimate monthly gigabytes for the job, divide by the per-address allowance, and compare with the number of addresses you need for concurrency or location spread; take the larger figure. Adding traffic to an existing pool is usually cheaper than adding addresses you do not need.
Exhaustion policy#
| Policy | Effect on your job |
|---|---|
| Throttle | Slower, but keeps running |
| Overage billing | Runs at full speed; surprise on the invoice |
| Hard stop | Fails until the next cycle |
How it works at ProxShift#
ProxShift datacenter addresses bring 100 GB a month each into the order's pool, reset on the order date; when it is exhausted, speed is reduced until the next cycle or until traffic is added, and nothing is billed on top.
