Please post a reply here when you get the "you're using too much bandwidth" email and the price that they'll quote you.

Thats problem is for CDN product. On R2 like other Developer products (KV, Worker, DO) you are already paying the bandwidth over the storage price. All those products can be used to HTML and non-HTML product.

Thats the major problem of the CDN product, they dont say that are no traffic fee, they just say they will not charge you "except" on some cases (that you never know). But other products they are very specific of the egress fee, like Stream, Magic Transit, Spectrum, etc.... They should fix that matter on CND, no one like that.

Sure, i dont know what will happen if someone just try to make a youtube like over R2... They probable "want" that....

This is the exact case when the "except" will be triggered. He is describing a video/image cdn in his comment.
