How often is the Bandwidth utilization data updated in the bandwidth endpoint?

[WeaverOfTheWeb]

I understand that it's not in real time so I was wondering how often it gets updated?

@WeaverOfTheWeb "periodically" is what the docs say. I'm not sure off hand how often that actually is but I can check. Are you noticing that it's not being updated?

Hey @optik-aper, thanks for the quick reply! It's been working fine but just curious on how often I should ping it for an update on it's daily values (so not too ping it too often) so if you are able to get a rough estimate it would be much appreciated, cheers!

I have noticed the "allowed_bandwidth" within the instance object might not be correct. If I create an instance with say 500Gb of bandwidth I'd expect that value to be 500 as the examples on the Docs show 1000 for 1Tb etc but for whatever reason I get changing values here. For example, an instance I had running showed a value of 1 when the instance was first instantiated but it gradually grew to 109 before I destroyed it so unsure if this is a bug or expected behaviour? If it is a bug I can create a separate issue for it.
