WAN port show instantaneous throughput/bandwidth used

The statistics on the WAN port on my R7000 shows the average  B/s  transmitted and received since the router was booted.   After some time it will not show me that I'm using say 60Mbps of my 100Mbps  Internet service  at the moment...instead the number is the average since the router was booted.. so it will not really show me say how my B/s receiving  at the moment..I could be using the maximum  but it will only show me the average.

 

At the very least there should be a way to zero the statistics without rebooting the router so  I can get an idea of how much average B/s I am using at the moment without past history.

 

Ideally a new statistic that is not the average but the  instantaneous rate on the WAN port

would be great

 

In this day and age with more streaming it is critical to know how much of our internet bandwidth ..aka WAN port.. we are using and if we are hitting all of our purchased internet speed and need more.
