I can’t express how much I love hetzner doing this. There is a huge market for people who just need some instances and reliable/cheap object storage to run their apps.

I do think the phrasing is complicated, IIRC Hetzner moved from monthly to hourly billing recently, so they probably had to have legally well-defined terms while also wanting to do a monthly-based system in hourly terms.
I wasn’t aware they had changed billing from monthly rates, which makes them doing all this hourly math stuff make a lot more sense.
The way they phrased the amount of data you get hourly that’s counted as free and then rated against a monthly rate threw me since it looked like they billed based on monthly AND then buckets, but the buckets had some portion of free data based on how long the bucket existed, and that transfer was based on the same metric.
Just a very excessively detailed and precise way to do it, but then again, being from Germany I suppose that should be expected.
