Need Help With My Project

This is a simple question, but I do not see an explanation in this forum
I have not used Blynk in the month of March.
My Console says: “Messages used: 28 of 30k”
Is this message indicator saying I have used 28 messages or 28K messages?

When you say that you’ve not used Blynk during this time, do you mean you e not used the app/web console, or do you mean you’ve not had any Blynk devices online?

I suspect that you have a device which is updating a datastream value on a regular basis. Each update = 1 message.

I briefly ran my Blynk app on my android phone, but it was not connected to any client device (Raspberry Pi Pico W).

Anyway, does the “Messages used: 28 of 30k” mean I used 28 messages, or 28,000 messages?

Does it say 28, or 28k ?

As you can see from this screenshot, the message bar shows progress towards the limit as a horizontal bar graph…

If the green bar is most of the way across then you just have a few thousand messages remaining. Otherwise, you have a fraction under 30k messages remaining.

Blynk.beginGroup();
Blynk.virtualWrite(V1, "abc");
Blynk.virtualWrite(V2, 1234);
Blynk.virtualWrite(V3, 1235);
Blynk.virtualWrite(V4, 1236);
Blynk.endGroup();

Will it be 1 message or 4?

I don’t know. Why don’t you test it, and report back with your findings?
