Understanding the Usage Page

The Usage page shows how much of your Fluger plan's storage, bandwidth, and streaming quota you've used this month — and over time. It's where you go to answer "am I getting close to my limit?" and "did that big event eat into my budget?"

You can open it any time at fluger.tv/usage, or click your name in the top-right and choose Usage.

What's on the page

Three top cards summarize your current month, with a chart underneath showing usage over time.

Fluger Usage page — three cards (Storage, Bandwidth, Streaming) plus the Usage over time chart

Card 1 — Storage

How much disk space your uploaded videos are taking up right now.

  • The big number (e.g. 5.86 GB) is your total stored content across all your channels and your Video Library.
  • The smaller line — of 50 GB — is your plan's storage cap.
  • The progress bar shows the percentage used (e.g. 11.7%).

Storage is cumulative — it only goes up when you upload, and only goes down when you delete videos.

Card 2 — Bandwidth

How much your viewers have collectively watched this month, measured in CDN delivery.

  • The big number is your delivered bandwidth this month (e.g. 0.18 GB).
  • The smaller line — this month, of 150 GB — is your plan's monthly bandwidth cap.
  • The Lifetime line shows total CDN delivery since you joined Fluger (e.g. Lifetime: 9.43 GB CDN).

Bandwidth resets on the first of each calendar month. A single popular video can use a lot of bandwidth quickly — a 30-minute 1080p stream watched by 100 viewers is roughly 50 GB of delivery.

Card 3 — Streaming

If your plan supports RTMP live streaming (Premium plan only), this card tracks it separately from regular bandwidth.

  • Live Streaming Bandwidth — how much of your plan's live-streaming bandwidth quota you've used this month.
  • Ingest time — total minutes of live video you've sent into Fluger this month.
  • Lifetime minutes — your total ingest minutes across all months.
  • Broadcast sessions — how many times you've gone live.
  • Last broadcast — timestamp of your most recent live stream (appears once you've broadcast at least once).

If you're on Free or Pro, this card will still show, but the live-streaming numbers will stay at zero — RTMP isn't enabled on those plans. See Live Streaming with RTMP for setup.

Usage over time

The chart below the cards plots three lines:

  • CDN bandwidth (GB) — total delivery to your viewers (blue bars)
  • Mux delivery (GB) — bandwidth used by live streams via Mux (cyan bars)
  • Streaming ingest (min) — live ingest minutes (red line)

Use the buttons at the top-right of the chart to switch the time window:

  • This month — day-by-day for the current calendar month
  • Last 30 days — rolling 30-day view
  • Last month — the previous calendar month
  • Last 3 months / Last 6 months — longer trend views
  • Lifetime — everything since you joined

Spikes in the bars usually mean a popular video got watched a lot that day. Spikes in the red line mean you went live for a long session.

What happens when I hit a limit?

If you reach your storage limit, you'll need to delete some videos before you can upload more, or upgrade your plan.

If you reach your monthly bandwidth limit, viewers will see a friendly message that the channel is over quota for the month — your content goes back online on the 1st when bandwidth resets, or sooner if you upgrade.

If you reach your monthly streaming bandwidth limit, you'll be unable to start new live streams until the month rolls over or you upgrade. Existing live streams in progress are not interrupted.

Upgrade options are at fluger.tv/pricing.

Troubleshooting

  • "My streaming card shows zero even though I went live." Make sure you're on the Premium plan and that your stream actually reached Fluger (you saw it play on your channel). Streams that never connected don't count against the quota.
  • "My bandwidth is higher than I expected." Live streams are bandwidth-heavy — a single 1080p live broadcast with 50 concurrent viewers can use several GB per hour. Check the chart's Last 30 days view to find the spike.
  • "How do I see exactly which videos used the most bandwidth?" The Usage page shows aggregate numbers. For per-video breakdowns, open Analytics.
  • "What's the difference between CDN bandwidth and Mux delivery?" CDN bandwidth covers your video-on-demand and channel playback. Mux delivery covers the live-streaming path specifically. They're tracked separately because they're priced differently under the hood.
