How much data can I actually use per second, without having my Raspberry Pi Cluster exceeding my data cap on my mobile plan. I have a 1000GB/month plan, limited to 10Mbps download and upload on my phone, with a twin sim connected to my rpi cluster. If my fiber for some odd reason would go down, I also rely on this connection for the rest of my devices. I should probably rate limit myself at another percentage used then.
- Data cap: 1000GB
- Renew date: 1st
- Average Download speed: 10Mbps
- Average Upload speed: 2Mbps
Given an amount used, this calculates how much data can be downloaded per second without exceeding the data cap.
My Raspberry Pi cluster is partly running off of my mobile data. Usually this is used by the tor relay and some uptime services.
This application is part of a cron job that checks the mobile plan usage and the average download speed of the server. I rate limit the server to the min value of this scripts result and the actual download speed (10mbps), but only if I have used more than 50% of my data.
