Hello, i got the same problem here…
I receive each payout, but the 0x66f0b890c2bf6d71756f03fd3b2aad18b39775 satellite seems less generous than before… Only 75 storj, and previous month 275 : i don’t understand !

There is no more surge payouts x2 x3 x4… that is the right payment for your provided services. x1
In february I got: 477, there was a 2x surge if I remember correctly and 15 days payment becouse of automatic payouts launch. On march + 15 days of february I got 518 with no surge payout. And this month I got 204.
So everything is fine.

Actually there is a 2.5x surge payout for March
The reason this month’s payout is less than last month’s is, that last month’s payout included one week of January, which was a very good month with a lot of testing.

Hello @Alexey.
thank you =) ! Glad to be here.
So, yes, i received the all 5 transactions.
My transactions were:
I just want to make sure this is correct.
I started with 1Tb… on the first 2 months (last couple day of december, and full month of January)
Then i raised to 2Tb on February. In March i raised to 3Tb.
The payments were according to the screenshot.
Regarding the dashboard what about the information for previous months? And regarding the held ammount?
Also, is this month transactioning as if it is my first month as Node Operator?
Many thanks for the answer in advance.
I have the same problem…
Over 300 storj in jan, over 560 storj in feb…and just 60 in march…Even though march had massively more traffic and space used…
I have received all 5 payments…what is going on?

@darrenjlobb , Same here!
My current stats using the “earnings calculator”. although something seems off on the calculator and on what i received.
Without an argument the calculator returns the stats of the current month, which will be paid the next month. Run it again with the argument “2020-03”.
Hey @donald.m.motsinger, finally figured it out =) !
Here it is:
Total received:
86.82748119 Storj
Also i just saw on the screen that it just shows 1.07TBm
I had available 3Tb full month. Half month 1.5/6Tb full and the other half almost full…
(Almost 50/100Gb left )
Many thanks in advance for the help understanding =) !
We uses measure unit as GB*h for a reason. You can take it as kW*h for the electricity.
If customer stored 1GB for a 2 hours it would be 2 GB*h. For a month 720 GB*h.
If customer will delete their data, it will not be accounted as used since that.
We collect the total usage information and then divide it to the number of hours in the current month, roughly 720 hours. After that you will get a number of TBm.

You don’t get paid for “available” Storage, only for actual stored data and egress traffic.
Looking at your numbers I can see that you are in month 1-3 for saltlake and month 4-6 for all other satellites. Adding up all “paid” values in the right column gives you $3.1474. Since there was a surge payment of 2.5x you should have received $7.8685. If you click on the Txn Hash of each payment, you will see the USD value for each payment. Add it together and you should get close to $7.8685.
People, please stop complaining about supposedly lower payments than the months before. January was an exceptional good month due to a lot of testing and surge payout and February’s payment included the last week of January. You can’t assume that every month will have a higher payout than the previous month. If there is less download of data, which accounts for most of the payment, then you will get paid less.

Can I piggyback on this thread to ask another payout question?
My first month was last month, and based on what the calculator is telling me, I got way less. Can someone just help me figure out if I’m just interpreting things incorrectly? Thanks!
Since your node is new, you should take column MONTH 1-3 in your calculation
you should multiple the value to 2.5
Then
Write them down and compare
@cy2k somebody won the egress lottery… lol 30GBm on your node and 93GB egress for that month…
doubt that will happen for larger data sets tho… luck of the draw in a small sample size.
How can i view previous months data info now that they have passed?
If the script is right, then you should have received $1.91x0.25x2.5=$1.19.
But as @SGC pointed out, your reported egress seems to be unusual high. By the look of the token value in your wallet it looks like you only got paid for storage ($0.05x0.25x2.5=$0.03).
@BrightSilence: could it be that your script got the egress wrong?
7 posts above yours…
The script relies on the databases the node keeps. The only way it could be wrong is if there is bandwidth usage in those databases that didn’t actually occur. The only way I can think of for that to happen is when you somehow use databases that were used by another node.
In all my testing the amounts are spot on. The same with most screenshots posted on here. (almost all of the examples of SNOs thinking they got the wrong amount turn out to be some misunderstanding.)
@cy2k It might be worth comparing against the web dashboard, though you can only do that for the current month right now. But you’ll see matching numbers between the web dashboard and the earnings calculator for bandwidth usage.
The egress may seem unusually high, but this is a node that likely wasn’t vetted for most of the month on all but the saltlake satellite and that satellite has done some download testing. Additionally by the end of the month there was likely much more than 30GB stored as there was quite a bit of upload throughout the month.

i think it’s just random chance, some data will be more active than other…
and there is barely any data at all… could be related to how the data tests are done also…
@Alexey Many thanks for your explanation. Now it is clear for me =) !!
@donald.m.motsinger many thanks for your complemental explanation. I was not complaining, just wanted to understand. Now i understand! =)
Many thanks all for your patience and explanations… now i understand how it works.
