Hi @ParkHaein, how are you?  
I’m only a user of [Builder.io](http://Builder.io) too. [@korey once explained perfectly](https://forum.builder.io/t/what-is-bandwidth-why-am-i-over-my-limit/1418). You will measure you bandwith by your traffic and contents on your page. If you have a lot of images or some heavy files on your page, every load from client need to dowload all files, so that will increase your bandwidth, a lot. So optimize heavy images, if you are using videos, do not load him when load your website. I already had some clients that they didnt worried about heavy files and they consumed a lot of bandwidth.

I undestood from plans that bandwidth reset every month. But someone can tell more about. I started to use this month only, so i am a newbie here.

Have a great day!
