Requests to endpoints for downloading Input Data and requests based on customer-defined REST request definitions now unblock read tickets as soon as the download has started. The number of downloaded bytes is measured and billed per GB. The usage in GB is always rounded down. For the current pricing details, refer to the internal pricing information.
Previously, read tickets were blocked for the whole duration of input data downloads and REST requests, which caused other users’ requests being blocked. This situation is now improved and the slow download speed does not impact the overall user experience in the mentioned cases anymore.

Starting with one of the next releases, we will enhance the Query History to provide you with more information about how download traffic is tracked.
