Upcoming changes to outbound bandwidth

On August 1, 2025, we're making the following changes to how we charge for bandwidth:

• Lower bandwidth pricing: Bandwidth pricing will decrease from $30 per 100GB to $15 per 100 GB. We will continue to only charge for bandwidth usage above your workspace plan's included amount. If you don’t exceed the bandwidth already included in your plan, these changes won't affect your bill.
• Accurate bandwidth billing: Currently, bandwidth usage only includes HTTP responses sent from your web services and static sites to browsers and other clients over the public Internet. We are correcting this behavior to align with industry standards. Outbound bandwidth will now include the following in addition to HTTP responses:
  • Service-initiated outbound traffic: Network communication initiated by any of your Render services over the public Internet (e.g., calls to an external database or uploads to a public cloud storage service)
  • Service-initiated Private Link traffic: Same as the above, but over a Private Link connection
  • WebSocket Responses: WebSocket responses sent from your web services to browsers and other clients over the public Internet

This update brings our pricing model in line with industry norms and helps us accurately reflect real infrastructure usage.

99% of workspaces will see lower or unchanged bandwidth costs.
