Billing scope to verify
The Billing FAQ distinguishes a stopped service from a deleted one. The Block Storage documentation explains that an attached volume survives deleting its Linode and is not covered by instance backups. The network transfer guide describes which allowance pool applies.
Our article turns those rules into annual, excess-transfer and retained-volume calculations. Assumed usage is labelled as a scenario; guaranteed future renewal prices were not obtained.
