Have you ever exceeded your linode bandwidth cap?
If so, my real question is what happens then. Will linode ever charge you more, or do they take the responsibility of blocking you at the right time? (I mean in practice... I don't care about the theory. Hence HN!)
As I'm just getting started, I very much doubt I'll reach the limit any time soon, but I would like to eliminate surprises as much as possible.
Thank you!

- Hinrik 17y agoI've had a linode for a few months now. Last month we went over the (600GB) limit by 50GB or so, but linode didn't charge us or, throttle us, or even contact us about it, probably because it wasn't excessive.
- oomkiller 17y agoThey say that they won't bill you for bandwidth over your limit unless its excessive. They don't give any hard numbers, but I think if you have 500GB and use 550GB, they probably won't bill you. I don't think they ever block you.
- ez77 17y agoThanks for your post. Come to think about it, it shouldn't be too hard to set your own limits, right? (The harsh rule would be: once 99% of your limit has been reached, paralyze your activity...)
