Know before a server blows through its bandwidth

How do I get warned before a Vultr instance exceeds its bandwidth allowance?
WebRun opens Vultr every morning, reads how much of each instance's monthly bandwidth allowance has been used, and compares that against how much of the month is left. It drafts a plan change note in Gmail and posts the pacing list to Slack, so an overage charge is prevented rather than discovered.
- Overage charges are caught days before the month closes
- Every instance is checked each morning, in every region
- Plan change decisions arrive with the numbers already attached

Questions, answered
Will it resize a server or change my plan?
No. WebRun only reads usage and reports it. Any plan change note is left as a Gmail draft for you to approve, and no instance is ever resized, rebooted, or billed without a human doing it.
How does it decide an instance is pacing over?
It compares the share of the monthly allowance already used against the share of the month elapsed. An instance that has burned 70 percent of its transfer on day ten is flagged even though it has not gone over yet.
Does it cover instances in every region?
Yes. It lists every running instance on the account each morning, in every region, so a busy box in a far region is caught the same as one at home.
