Overview
Cloud ClearBlade IoT Core is priced according to the data volume used in a calendar month:
...
Data volume is based on data exchanged by devices that are connected to Cloud ClearBlade IoT Core. There is no charge for create, read, update, and delete operations through the device manager.
...
As noted in Using the HTTP Bridge, a device can send gzip-compressed data to Cloud ClearBlade IoT Core over the HTTP bridge.
...
Say that you have 10,000 devices, each of which is connected to Cloud ClearBlade IoT Core over an MQTT connection. Even if the devices don't send any telemetry events or state data over a one month period, they will still send PINGREQ messages to Cloud ClearBlade IoT Core in order to keep the MQTT connection alive. The frequency of the PINGREQs depends on the keep-alive value for each connection. Even though a PINGREQ may be only a few bytes, any messages smaller than 1024 bytes are still charged as if they were 1024 bytes, because 1024 bytes is the minimum data size used for billing.
...
Say that you have 10,000 devices connected to Cloud ClearBlade IoT Core. Each device sends one HTTP request every 30 minutes, and each request is 1024 bytes in size. Each HTTP request results in a response, and even though a response may be only a few bytes, the minimum billing size of 1024 bytes applies. The total data volume in a month would be 27.46 GB, calculated as follows:
...
Say that you have 50,000 devices connected to Cloud ClearBlade IoT Core. Each device sends one HTTP request every 30 minutes, and each request is 5 bytes in size. Any messages smaller than 1024 bytes are still charged as if they were 1024 bytes, because 1024 bytes is the minimum data size used for billing. Each HTTP request results in a response, and even though a response may be only a few bytes, the same minimum size of 1024 bytes applies. The total data volume in a month would be 137.32 GB, calculated as follows:
...
Consider a case where you have 50,000 devices connected to Cloud ClearBlade IoT Core. Each device sends one HTTP request every minute, and each message is 8192 bytes in size. Each request results in a response, and even though a response may be only a few bytes, any messages smaller than 1024 bytes are still charged as if they were 1024 bytes, because 1024 bytes is the minimum size used for billing. The total data volume in a month would be about 18.1 TB, calculated as follows:
