Symptoms:
- I want to understand how Cloud Content Delivery (CCD) pricing works.
- How much bandwidth is included for free in CCD?
- What happens if I exceed the free bandwidth limit?
Cause:
Unity Cloud Content Delivery (CCD) follows a tiered pricing model where users receive 50GB of free bandwidth per month. Bandwidth is used whenever content is uploaded or downloaded. If usage exceeds the free tier, additional bandwidth incurs a charge.
Resolution:
-
Bandwidth Calculation
The Free Tier: Includes 50GB of bandwidth per month. - Bandwidth Consumption:
Bandwidth is used when content is uploaded or downloaded. - Overage Charges:
After exceeding 50GB, usage is charged at $0.08 per GB.
Example Scenario
If a user has a 200MB (0.2GB) content package:
-
Within Free Tier:
- 250 users can download it before reaching the 50GB limit.
- Calculation: 50GB ÷ 0.2GB = 250 downloads.
-
Beyond Free Tier:
- If total usage reaches 52GB in a month (2GB over the limit), the cost is:
- 2GB × $0.08 = $0.16 charge for that month.
- The next month resets with a fresh 50GB free allocation.
