They overcharge egress by about 500x https://getdeploying.com/reference/data-egress.

So even a reduction to 0.2% would habe been possible. Honestly don't understand why anyone feels comfortable overpaying so much. Especially when there is no configurable spending limit.

It wouldn’t be possible for them. Netlify doesn’t own transit, so AWS needs to get their fat cut even if Netlify waives their fatter cut.

Netlify is not paying anywhere near the sticker price for AWS traffic.
