Your random blog post is the outdated one.

Their actual docs: https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/general/traffic/

And reports of throttling once you actually hit certain limits: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/180504/hetzner-traffic-use...

your link says exactly what blog post said: root servers with 1gb/s uplink have unlimited traffic.

Other offerings (e.g. 20gb/s uplink) and small cloud servers have traffic limitations.

Yes, I was pointing out that many of their products have explicit limits.

But more importantly, the second link I posted shows how that despite being "unlimited" - it's not uncommon for hetzner to throttle / close your account if you go over unstated traffic limits.

No, you clearly stated that 1gb/s servers have 20tb cap, but no such products have such limitation, no links say anything like that.

It makes total sense to cap 20gb/s, because such unlimited bandwidth is clearly too much.

you can argue that, though they didn't close or throttle account, they sent warning, and cap was 12 times higher than what you previously stated.
