Ive noticed my bandwidth seems a bit high. Is it possible this is because my typesense documents share all fields found in my firestore documents? Would limiting fields shared from my firestore document help with bandwidth?

Could you expand on what numbers you’re seeing for bandwidth?

Because, there’s a base usage of ~50-100MB bandwidth per day, for monitoring purposes.

I see, i have about 350mb of data from the last week which lines up. Does that still count towards the bandwidth pricing?

It’s still considered outgoing bandwidth from the perspective of a node

But bandwidth is ~9c per GB, so this should be a tiny fraction of overall costs
