Can you tell me what counts in the bandwidth statistics? For sure, these are files that are uploaded and requested by a user. But does internal traffic count? So for example, if I upload a 5mb file to a bucket and use this 5mb file in a function using storage.getFileDownload(), will that count as 10mb bandwidth or is internal traffic free? And will document request also count as bandwidth?
Kind regards,
Marius
TL;DR
Bandwidth counts both inbound and outbound traffic. So, reading 10 documents from a database and sending 1 to the client would count as 11 in terms of bandwidth.

Hi! all the bandwidth through the Appwrite API will count towards bandwidth. However, there is an exception - the data migrated from other vendors that will not count to usage.

Alright, thank you @joeyouss. So also internal Bandwidth counts? For example downloading an Image from an Appwrite Bucket into a Function? Is there a way to directly access images through function without downloading them through the API to safe bandwidth?

Same question here @joeyouss. If I read data from a function (either documents or images/files), will that count as bandwidth?

Yep, all inbound and outbound traffic

Thanks! Just to make sure I get this right - if my function reads 10 documents from the DB, but only sends 1 out to the client, would the bandwidth be 11 (10+1), or 1?
