<h3>Hotlinking with a Pro subscription</h3>
<p>
When you have a Pro subscription you will get a monthly
bandwidth cap for all the files on your account combined. Normal
downloads through the file viewer will not be subtracted from
the cap, so nothing changes if you keep using the site like
normal. If people download your files directly from the API (by
replacing the /u/ part in the link with /api/file/) the
bandwidth usage will be subtracted from the bandwidth cap on
your account. If the bandwidth cap is exceeded rate limiting
mode will be enabled for all the files on your account with
three times more downloads than views.
When you have a Pro subscription you will get a monthly data
transfer limit for all the files on your account combined. Files
you download from pixeldrain are subtracted from the data cap.
If you have <a href="/user/subscription">Bandwidth sharing</a>
enabled your data cap is also used when other people download
your files.

In principle there is always someone who pays for the bandwidth
usage when a file is being downloaded:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
If the person downloading the file has a Pro subscription
their data cap is used.
</li>
<li>
If the person who uploaded the file has a Pro subscription
and Bandwidth sharing is enabled on their account, then the
uploader's data cap is used.
</li>
<li>
If neither the uploader nor the downloader has a Pro
subscription the download will be supported by
advertisements on the download page.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
The bandwidth cap on your account is a 30 day rolling window.
This means that bandwidth usage will expire 30 days after it was
