Sudden raise in UDM credit consumption
hey, Has there been a change how UDM probe prices are calculated? I stopped old UDM (1004320) that had following parameters: - v4 ping - 10 probes - 240 seconds, 3 packets, size 500 - 3.0 credits per result, 10800 credits per day When I created identical UDM (1040516) (UDM parameters should really be changeable to there should be possiblity to clone UDM and then modify all parameters) with double amount of probes (20) and same parameters, I'm now suddenly charged 31.25 credits per result. This does not follow the linear logic as only parameter that changed is number of probes. -- tarko

Yes and no. Yes, there was a change, but it happened some time ago. January of this year in fact. It used to be that we didn't charge for packet size, but back in January, we opted to start charging for packet size as well as an increase in packet size would reflect an increase in traffic. We didn't want to punish users who were already running measurements though, so we grandfathered these in, which is why your old measurement cost you only 3cr per result, but your new one costs 31.25cr per result. The details of the pricing scheme can be found on the credits documentation page: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/credits/ I hope that helps explain things :-)

Thanks, this totally explains it. -- tarko
