Use real logs first
Average transferred bytes from proxy or browser logs are more reliable than a generic preset.

QUICK REFERENCE
Approximately how many requests fit in 1 GB?
Reference values use decimal units and exclude safety margin.
| Average size | Estimated requests | Typical content |
|---|---|---|
| 10 KB | 100,000 | Small JSON |
| 50 KB | 20,000 | HTML / SERP |
| 100 KB | 10,000 | Mixed API response |
| 500 KB | 2,000 | Media-heavy page |
| 1 MB | 1,000 | Page with assets |
| 2 MB | 500 | Rendered page |
Count both directions
Small request headers, response headers, redirects, and retries can materially change the total.
Keep a buffer
A 10%–30% margin is a practical starting point when traffic varies between targets.
