Delivery traffic is billed based on uncompressed data volume, while read/write traffic is billed based on compressed data volume. This difference explains why delivery traffic fees can be several times higher.

Delivery traffic is billed based on the volume of uncompressed data that is delivered, whereas read/write traffic is billed based on the volume of compressed data that is transmitted. The volume of delivered data depends on the complexity of the log content and the number of indexed fields. For example, if the raw data volume is 10 GB, the index data volume is 8 GB, and the compressed raw data volume is 2 GB, the delivery traffic is 8 GB and the read/write traffic is 2 GB.
