Why do my earnings change? – Honeygain

📈

Your earnings rise and fall with demand. That's normal.

There's no fixed rate per GB. How much your device shares depends on what our partners need, where you are, and your device.

⬢ Supply and demand

The traffic going through your device changes all the time. These are the main reasons:

What changes	Effect on your earnings
More users join	More people share the same demand, so each device may share less.
Partners need less traffic	Less traffic is available for everyone. When there's more supply than needed, we may temporarily limit how much some users share.
Season and events	Demand can rise around busy periods, such as the holidays when shoppers look for deals, and drop afterwards.
Your location	Partners often need traffic from specific countries or regions, so demand differs from place to place.

We balance these changes on our side, but how much you notice depends on how big the shift is.

⬢ Is there a fixed traffic rate?

No. Traffic levels change continuously, so there's no set amount you earn per GB or per hour of regular sharing.

⬢ Earnings dropped after your first weeks?

New accounts often see more traffic in their first 1–2 weeks. During this time we run checks on the account, such as IP compatibility, fraud checks and speed tests. After that, traffic settles to its usual level.

⬢ Why devices share different amounts

Two devices on the same account can earn differently because of:

⬢ Hardware and software: processing power, network hardware and how well the system runs in the background.

⬢ Connection quality: a slower or unstable connection leads to interruptions and less sharing.

Remember that only one device per network can share at a time. See the device limits.

⬢ Using Content Delivery?

Content Delivery pays by the hour, but it shares heavier content, so keep this in mind:

⬢ In rare cases, Content Delivery users may lose access to a streaming platform. You're responsible for making sure your sharing follows local laws and your own service agreements. Read about Content Delivery.
