So, 1m means 1MB, you can use also ex. 100k or similar value. If for example 1m is set then you will have full speed until 1MB of file is sent. After that download will be throttled to limit_rate value. Regards, Ivan Hello,

I am using Nginx with cloud hosting, the problem being that if a given server gets a traffic spike I get a huge bill. Do you know of an easy way to simply put a cap on bandwidth usage for each virtual domain so that it shows an error page for example when the limit is hit? I suppose with too much traffic even the error page could increase the costs :/ what is the best way around this? Many thanks, Jamie Hi Mark,
