The lowest-cost Shared CPU instance type is appropriate for this guide. If you want to implement the notification system, create a Linode in the Cloud Manager.
A Linode instance is used because it can remain powered on at all times.

This guide shows how to set up the notification system on a Linode instance. The Set an Overage Threshold section further updates the Python script so that the text message notification also shows your billed overage amount if you have exceeded your pool size. The Set a Notification Threshold section updates the Python script so that a text message is only set if you have exceeded a certain percentage of your pool size. The Set Up a Cron Job section shows how to periodically call the Python script, so that you can frequently be informed of your network transfer usage. The information from this endpoint is embedded in a text message that is delivered via the Twilio API. In the Send Network Transfer Usage in a Text Message section, a Python script is demonstrated that queries the Network Transfer View endpoint of the Linode API. This custom notification system relies on the Network Transfer View endpoint of the Linode API. You can also configure the system to send notifications at custom transfer usage percents, instead of the standard 80%, 90%, and 100% Linode email alerts. Such a system would periodically send notifications to help you be aware of your transfer usage without manually checking on it. Using Twilio, you can also build a custom text message notification system for your transfer usage. Linode sends email alerts at 80%, 90%, and 100% of your transfer usage. The Linode CLI can report your current transfer usage. The Cloud Manager displays your current transfer usage. Linode provides a few ways to monitor your transfer usage: If you observe that you have used a high percentage of your transfer pool, then you can start to plan or budget for a possible transfer overage.
If you use more than your pool size in a given month, then you are billed an overage fee for that month. It’s important to keep track of how much bandwidth your account has.
For more information on how your network transfer pool’s size is computed, and which services can consume your outbound network transfer pool, review the Transfer Allowance section of the Network Transfer Usage and Costs guide.
