HNer gets his casino site shut down and extorted into buying Enterprise for $120k/yr, there's an unwritten limit of 10TB. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40481808

    From the thread and related discussions, Cloudflare's reasons probably had nothing to do with bandwidth used. I also recently signed up for Cloudflare and pushed 20 TB per month on their free plan, I specifically asked Cloudflare if this was okay and they said yes. YMMV

I find myself often suspicious of "free" tiers, because it seems to be that 1. the terms can change at any time or 2. "free" can be removed at any time.

I had used CF Pages and I really really liked all the tools it gave me, but free didn't sit well with me. I switched to CDN bunny.net for hosting my personal site and DNS and I pay $1/mo, which is their monthly minimun payment. It doesn't have facny stuff like github intergation or such, but I feel more at peace actually knowing what I'm paying for.

I wish CF would have a personal pricing level, I'd be more than happy to pay them and have a customer relationship instead of a freemium user relationship with them!

    You'll find plenty of arguments in CFs blogs on why they offer a free tier, from ISPs offering free peering to hobbyists testing the latest features to hobbyists bringing their company onto CF.

    It's not a blitz-scaling customer trap.
