Bandwidth & Storage Egress

Bandwidth & Storage egress

Free Plan Organizations in Supabase have a limit of 10 GB of bandwidth (5 GB cached + 5 GB uncached). This limit is calculated by the sum of all the data transferred from the Supabase servers to the client. This includes all the data transferred from the database, storage, and functions.

Checking Storage egress requests in Logs Explorer

We have a template query that you can use to get the number of requests for each object in Logs Explorer.

1
select
2
  request.method as http_verb,
3
  request.path as filepath,
4
  (responseHeaders.cf_cache_status = 'HIT') as cached,
5
  count(*) as num_requests
6
from
7
  edge_logs
8
  cross join unnest(metadata) as metadata
9
  cross join unnest(metadata.request) as request
10
  cross join unnest(metadata.response) as response
11
  cross join unnest(response.headers) as responseHeaders
12
where
13
  (path like '%storage/v1/object/%' or path like '%storage/v1/render/%')
14
  and request.method = 'GET'
15
group by 1, 2, 3
16
order by num_requests desc
17
limit 100;

Example of the output:

1
[
2
  {
3
    "filepath": "/storage/v1/object/sign/large%20bucket/20230902_200037.gif",
4
    "http_verb": "GET",
5
    "cached": true,
6
    "num_requests": 100
7
  },
8
  {
9
    "filepath": "/storage/v1/object/public/demob/Sports/volleyball.png",
10
    "http_verb": "GET",
11
    "cached": false,
12
    "num_requests": 168
13
  }
14
]

Calculating egress

If you already know the size of those files, you can calculate the egress by multiplying the number of requests by the size of the file. You can also get the size of the file with the following cURL:

1
curl -s -w "%{size_download}\n" -o /dev/null "https://my_project.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/large%20bucket/20230902_200037.gif"

This will return the size of the file in bytes. For this example, let's say that 20230902_200037.gif has a file size of 3 megabytes and volleyball.png has a file size of 570 kilobytes.

Now, we have to sum all the egress for all the files to get the total egress:

1
100 * 3MB = 300MB
2
168 * 570KB = 95.76MB
3
Total Egress = 395.76MB

You can see that these values can get quite large, so it's important to keep track of the egress and optimize the files.
