Speaking as someone who runs a bunch of large websites - out of my own pocket, for profit.... I'm confused.

How did we get from 60K users to 10K per day expense?

For comparison, I serviced millions of users per month for years from a single virtual server... (granted, that was after making our site super lean for a data & CPU perspective)

How much resources is each user consuming?

I guess you don't instantiate a 5Gb image / user. It's the data transfer that costs 30/40c / user.
Cloudflare ? or just one machine at OVH ?

Wasabi’s pricing model of $.0059 per GB/mo ($5.99 per TB/month) with no additional charges for egress or API requests means you don’t pay to access your data

I don't know, could be a couple of dollars only ?
