How is bandwidth pricing calculated? DO/VULTR

in General

When i create a droplet/instance with 1000GB bandwidth ,use all 1000GB in first week and destroy instance.
After this i can create new instance and never pay extra-costs/GB?

    Digital Ocean I think currently doesn't account bandwidth.

    FAQ's are a wonderful thing https://www.vultr.com/faq/#bandwidthoveragerate

    Or for completeness.

    If your plan has 1000GB allocated to it, the amount of transfer per hour for overage calculations is 1000 / 672 = 1.48GB/hour. Your pending charges will reflect the overage calculated by this formula. Note: In some cases it may be less expensive to leave your instance running than to destroy it and be assessed overage charges.

    In short, if you destroy an instance who's bandwidth has been exhausted before the end of the month you'll be charged for overage.
