Time Quota Calculations
Calculation of time quotas is as follows:
•
HTTP and decrypted HTTPS traffic – The duration of each connection to the same URL category,
from formation to disconnect, plus one minute, is counted toward the time quota limit. If multiple
requests are made to the same URL category within one minute of each other, they are counted as
one continuous session and the one minute is added only at the end of this session (that is, after at
least one minute of “silence”).
