It means that ovh some times if your use is extreme it caps your server to non burstable mode..

Oles (OVH's staff) had mentioned exactly

The Standard SLA
---------------
The Standard SLA is intended to Kimsufi (the individuals) that do not need guarantees. The client wants a server that works, cheap with all minimum services and no surprises at the end of the month. In terms of bandwidth, we guarantee that 100Mbps can be used in a non-permanent way, i.e not intensive. To determine the permanent and non permanent character, we calculate the bandwidth used "at 95%". This means that the client has the right to burst for 5% of the month, making 36 hours per month. If the customer uses 100Mbps from time to time (the so-called the burst), there is no problem. However, if its use of 100Mbps burst is steady, the bandwidth calculated at 95% will increase. If in average, the customer uses more than 10Mbps, we limit the burst at 10Mbps instead of 100Mbps. Every day we recalculate automatically the bandwidth at 95% of all Kimsufi servers and so if the customer uses again less than 10Mbps, he will be entitled again to burst 100Mbps. And so on the day after.
