Cloudflare shouldn't restrict media (video, images, and audio) from its unlimited bandwidth promise for Workers and R2 (though, ToS doesn't yet reflect that).

I think, an auto flyctl pause -a <myapp> when myapp exceeds $x in charges (with an auto-resume when the billing rolls over) may serve as a viable interim solution. May be this is already possible with fly.io's graphql api?

Yup. Not too hard. This outputs the current bandwidth in gigabytes when you pass your app name.
