That's if you use their CDN. Cloudflare R2 doesn't charge for egress bandwidth. If you have 100TB/mo to serve, try it and see what happens. I haven't heard of anyone being kicked off of R2 for using too much egress bandwidth yet.

At scale, you'll pay a couple thousand dollars for Class B operations on R2, and another bunch for storing the 10 TB in the first place, but that's relatively cheap compared to other offerings where you'd pay for metered egress bandwidth.

CF is not particularly fond of non-Enterprise customers serving more than a few TB/mo. Source: $corp serves 150 TB/mo via CF and pays somewhere north of 50k+/yr for it
They have released this updated to their ToS recently: https://blog.cloudflare.com/updated-tos/

The whole point of R2 is to remove predatory practices of egregious charging for egress, and if somehow they went back on this promise that would be a very bad PR.

We’re doing 60/mo on their $20 plan so far and it’s not been a problem.
