How does the DATA API outbound limit work?

"For inbound Data Requests (pulling data into the database on your FileMaker Server) you have unlimited API Data Transfer. For outbound Data Requests (pushing data out from the database on your FileMaker Server) you are limited to the API Data Transfer included with the Software along with any additional API Data Transfer that you purchase." sic - https://support.filemaker.com/s/article/Understanding-the-Data-API-Annual-Limits?language=en_US

Does this mean that when I do a query `curl -kL -XPOST fmserver/fmi/data/v1/databases/some/params -d "more:params"` The query I send to FileMaker is for free? But its response does a countdown on my allowance?

Correct.  Any and all response counts against your limit.

How can I see the actual byte counter? Is there a /proc/ or similar that I can cat?

 

As pr example: 

cat /proc/fmdataapi.allowance

or similar.

Is this done pr byte count of the raw HTTP query response? Or the body inside the HTTP response?
