How frequent is infrequent? In our case it's "never unless other backups fail" and for that S3 Glacier Deep Archive is still cheaper ($0.00099 per GB).

"At launch, R2 will cost $0.015 per gigabyte of data stored on the service, about half as much as AWS charges for customers on its frequent access tier. Infrequent access to R2 will be free, the company said. "

So.... I still need to test, but if that is true can be a game changer. Of course... $0.00099 is almost free, but if everything is done automagically will be awesome.
