Diagnose "data transfer quota exceeded" errors
My project has shut down for the month because
Your project has exceeded the data transfer quota.
This is perfectly reasonable. However, I'm not sure what I did to hit 5GB data transfer in 2 days.
I don't see a dashboard to check what queries transferred what amount of data and what IP addresses are involved? There's almost no visibility into the data transfer aspect of things10 Replies

Hey! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I shared it with our Product team

Thanks, I have a follow up question to this
Does data transfer count if I have Postgres subscriptions replicating data within the cluster? So there's no external data transfer but the server is moving data between tables
Just figuring out what ate 5GB up

Yea it should count yes

can the rationale behind this be explained/documented? it doesn't seem intuitive for data transfer between tables of the same Neon instance to count against data transfer, that would be for ingress/egress from external sources

Oh I misread your question. I'll check in internally
Feel free to ping me if I'm gone too long

Thanks! Also a ping regarding the same @Mahmoud :')

Hey! Apologies for the delayed response. So the only way to replicate changes across tables within the same project is through the public connection string, so we would count that as a traffic

got it, makes sense
are there any plans to address this eventually? This is one of the usecases of logical replication in general

No current plans, but I shared your feedback with the team

Is it possible to make this metric transparent? Absolutely unclear how when and especially why I hit the cap.
