They have transfer limits and an associated overage fee iirc. I can still see this sort of thing happening if that is the case.

My understanding is you hit your bandwidth cap and that's it, no more bandwidth.

(edit) looks like that's not the case, I'm sure I used to have to buy a second instance a few years ago if I did want to use more bandwidth that was allocated

I barely even realized that, since my hobby stuff doesn't come anywhere near the limit.

For those curious, the overage rate is $10/TB ($0.01/GB) after the transfer included in the plan.

The smallest amount of included transfer is 1TB for the $5/mo VPS.

Or just go with Hetzner and have a limit 20X as big with cheaper prices
