The measurements I'm referring to are : 1043292 and 1043293. > They each totaled to 1M credits, should it not be half of that? > > Kind regards, > Warwick Louw Hello, The system (at the moment) is sensitive to the size of outgoing packets; the bigger packet size you ask for, the more it costs (this is explained in https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/credits/). I suspect we'll need to review that, as this seems to be a recurring issue for users and there's not that much difference between a 100 byte and a 1000 byte outgoing packet. The costs should be more related to the number of packets and less to their size. Regards, Robert
