Here's the summary of meek's CDN fees for December 2014. Earlier reports:

If you're just tuning in, meek is a pluggable transport introduced a few
months ago. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/meek.
App Engine + Amazon + Azure = total by month
February 2014 $0.09 + -- + -- = $0.09
March 2014 $0.00 + -- + -- = $0.00
April 2014 $0.73 + -- + -- = $0.73
May 2014 $0.69 + -- + -- = $0.69
June 2014 $0.65 + -- + -- = $0.65
July 2014 $0.56 + $0.00 + -- = $0.56
August 2014 $1.56 + $3.10 + -- = $4.66
September 2014 $4.02 + $4.59 + $0.00 = $8.61
October 2014 $40.85 + $130.29 + $0.00 = $171.14
November 2014 $224.67 + $362.60 + $0.00 = $587.27
December 2014 $326.81 + $417.31 + $0.00 = $744.12
--
total by CDN $600.63 + $917.89 + $0.00 = $1518.52 grand total
Usage was up in December compared to November, but the relative increase
wasn't as great as between November and October.

Rather than attach bandwidth screenshots from the CDN control panels,
this month I'll just link to the Globe pages for the different backends.
A different relay is used depending on what backend you choose:
meek-google: https://globe.torproject.org/#/bridge/88F745840F47CE0C6A4FE61D827950B06F9E4534
meek-amazon: https://globe.torproject.org/#/bridge/3FD131B74D9A96190B1EE5D31E91757FADA1A4F3
meek-azure: https://globe.torproject.org/#/bridge/AA033EEB61601B2B7312D89B62AAA23DC3ED8A34
It's interesting that meek-google has more bandwidth (800 KB/s) but
fewer clients (200), while meek-amazon has less bandwidth (550 KB/s) but
more clients (340). meek-azure is behind both with 200 KB/s and 150
clients. I also attached screenshots of the bandwidth graphs from those
pages.
As a step toward reducing the bandwidth bills, this month I closed
#12778, which reduces overhead by ensmallening HTTP headers.
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12778
Headers are now less than half the size compared to before, which I
estimate will save about 3% on bandwidth. We won't observe any effect,
however, until there's a new release of Tor Browser.
We're starting to move quite a bit of traffic. Not counting meek-azure,
it's over 3.6 TB last month. (That's including an estimated 6â7% of
meek-induced overhead.)
== App Engine a.k.a. meek-google ==
Most of the App Engine bill is still using an existing credit. Of the
total of $326.81, $230.00 was covered by credits.
Here is how the costs broke down:
2132 GB $255.86
1419 instance hours $70.95
The attached meek-google-costs-2015-01-01.png shows the breakdown of
costs between bandwidth and instance hours for the last few months.
== Amazon a.k.a. meek-amazon ==
Asia Pacific (Singapore) 105M requests $126.52 783 GB $101.09
Asia Pacific (Sydney) 183K requests $0.23 1 GB $0.18
Asia Pacific (Tokyo) 25M requests $30.28 146 GB $17.83
EU (Ireland) 57M requests $68.81 481 GB $37.23
South America (Sao Paulo) 1M requests $2.49 7 GB $1.58
US East (Northern Virginia) 19M requests $18.69 161 GB $12.39
--
total 207M requests $247.02 1579 GB $170.30*
* The total from adding up subtotals is $0.01 higher than the actual
bill, I think because of some rounding.
== Azure a.k.a. meek-azure ==
I still can't figure out how to get total monthly bandwidth out of the
Azure console.
