Monitoring Data Usage/Quota & Notifications

Post by markp99 »

Xfinity's data cap is due to kick-in for me in the next month or 2. Based on prior usage, I suspect I will bump into the 1.2TB limit several time per year.

I'm hoping SABnzbd's Quota info can assist to avoid unexpected overages. I have a few questions, please:
  • Looking at Xfinity data usage today (26th of the month), I see 731GB consumed.
  • Looking at SABnzbd "Server" tab, I see only 17.3GB consumed this month as of Today (I use a single server: news.newshosting.com)
  • The SAB number seems way too low; manually summing the downloaded totals from my "History Log" for just the past 7 days exceeds 18GB
  • With an arbitrary Quota value of 20GB, I see the following info presented on the Main tab "-137.5 GB / 20.0 GB Quota Left"

Questions:
  • Any thoughts why I see a mismatch from the Server Tab (17.3GB) and the Main Tab (~137.5GB + 20GB = 157GB)?
  • Where should I look to determine my data actual month's data usage?
  • Maybe Server total was reset accidentally by me this month?
Notifications:
  • I use Pushbullet to send NZB "Job Finished" notifications to my phone
  • What should I use to send "Quota" Pushbullet messages? Error? Warning? Other Messages?
Thank you!

Indeed it seems the server usage was reset sometime this month. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain why it is that far off.
When exceeding the quota, you'll get a general "Warning" and downloading will be paused.
